Greetings Gentleman.

 

My CS is getting a little long in the tooth.  After 10 years, I am getting the inevitable rattles, creaks, and groans.  I have this one rattle that seems to be coming from the right right quarter panel.  I inspected the R/R storage area and I came across a peculiar piece.  I had removed the CD player from my system awhile back.  The picture shows a rubbery black strap.  One end is attached the the gas door latch solenoid.  The other end has a triangular nipple that looks like its supposed to into a hole. I found the nipple end just laying unattached.  I don't think this is the source of the rattle but I can't seem to figure out what it is.  

 

Anyone know what this part is for and how is it supposed to be attached?

That's the emergency fuel door release. I think the skinny end tucks into a hole somewhere when not in use. Sorry I'm not more specific -- it's been a while since I messed around in there.

That's the manual release for the fuel filler door lock (for when the power lock isn't working).  I haven't looked at mine for a few years but I think it looked just like yours.
