I have never seen a reference on any of the Sedona boards to such a problem.

The kia Site http://www.kiatechinfo.com/ says you can remove the seat, remove the rear inside trim and then access the door opener module. I suppose this means that in an emergency you can at least fill the tank. The diagnostics for the filler door follow. The front switch needs the car to be hooked up to a computer (evidently) for diagnosis. Sounds like a job for your dealer if you are still covered. Good luck and let us know what the problem was.

1.
Remove the rear seats. (Refer to the Body group - rear seats)

2.
Remove the luggage side trim. (Refer to the Body group - interior trim)

3.
Open the fuel filler door and disconnect the wiring connector after loosening 2 bolts.

4.
Check for continuity between terminal No. 1 and No. 2. If there is no continuity replace the fuel filler door opener.
