There should also be a cable inside the car near the tank that acts as a manual release-open the back up and look for a small cable in the same area as the filler. You may also have a blown fuse that is keeping the door opener from actuation.

Gas lid switch doesn't work.

You will either find an emergency release inside the trunk behind the liner, or the release lever will twist allowing the gas lid to spring open. You will then need to figure out the reason that the swith doesn't work.
