I had a question does anybody have the Pdf file for the Fuel door cable on the 1999 Toyota Avalon. My Mom's Car is having a problem with the fuel Door cable and I ordered her a new one and waiting to install it. I tend to think her cable is going out she had this car since new and this is the only problem with it now.

Yep, ours did the same thing. I glued it back in place since only the tip broke off & there was enough to still maintain the spring action to kick the door out. It still works several years later. The next time it breaks, it's my brother-in-law's problem.

For the record, yeah, I'm cheap.
