Default 1990 LS400 Fuel door

hey guys i was just wondering, i've had this problem for as long as i know and never got to it. the fuel door won't open by pulling on the switch under the dash, so everytime i pump gas i have to open the trunk and pull the manual switch in the first aid compartment. is there a fuse that might be blown. just wondering if anyone else had this problem and might have a fix.

Thank you
Xu Liu

To me sounds like either a fuse is bad or the solenoid has gone out.
