The remote lock will not release to exterior door on the gas cap on a 2003 park Avenue.

sounds like you need to apply less force when opening the doors.

Try pushing the gas door.Ok

push the fuel door button,if you hear the door trying to open,[or close]
the cable shaft is not free. In the trunk,just behind the cap door,
you will find it,spray it with a good lub. you can move this shaft with
your fingers.

Order the exterior door handle AND the clip that attaches the rod to the exterior handle from your local dealership ( any part in the salvage yard will have at least as much wear as the one U are replacing ) Also order a can of touch up paint matching your car. After you have the parts and have painted the new exterior handle, roll down the window and remove the interior door panel. ( instructions have been posted at 'replace door lock buttom' ) Two nuts, one on each side, hold the broken handle in place and must be removed ( DON'T loose them ). Loosen the rod from the clip at the top to allow a bit more room, But take note on the way it is attached ( you will need to reattach the rod to new handle ) To install new mechanism put the new clip on the rod, carefully place the gasket and the new handle in place and install nuts to secure. Test the door handle and make sure it works. Reinstall interior door panel.

You may find a release for the fuel filler door in the trunk. Look behind the carpet on the side the filler is on and at about the same level.
