Drove up to the local filling station in my '05 Pilot on Sunday.

At one of the pumps was a black '05 with a wonderfully developed "sweet young thang" in a very low cut top in the driver's seat and an large older man outside of the vehicle. The hood, trunk, both doors, "secret compartment" (YES, they found that!), are all wide open.

The heavyset fellow is a used car salesman. I had seen the '05 sitting on the front row at the local Ford dealership and this lovely girl was out for a test spin. The salesman tells me that 2 girls took the car out the previous day for a 3-hour "test drive" and brought the car back on Empty. Now he can't find out where the switch is to open the fuel filler door.

I was more than happy to oblige....

 

That's funny. I can't believe they allowed those girls to take the car for 3 hours.

 

Key words here being, two girls.

 

lol

 

i remember when i bought the car everyone at the dealer made it there own personal mission to tell me how to open the fuel door granted i already knew cause i worked at the dealer that i bought it on and help pull the first s2000's the dealer got back in 99 off the truck and had to put gas in them. oh well

 

Something tells me that you can tell them where the passenger window lock switch is too.

 

Not yet, but my wife can...duh!?!!?

Feeling a bit the fool......all of my other cars disarm the passenger windows at all points OTHER than the driver position...I must have missed this nuance when going through the owner's manual (yes, I did read it!).

Thanks again for the help...I really was not relishing the thought of dropping the car at the dealership for them to tear into the door.

 

It's all good. Lots of people fall for that switch issue.

 

You mean "the fat dude"?

 

Before my car arrived, I went to the dealership and quizzed a saleman where the release was and he couldn't find it.
