The fueling panel door switch is a magnetically operated reed switch. Its common to see these misbehaving.
Its easy to see if the switch has failed in the door open mode, as the fueling panel door lights remain illuminated as you close and latch the door.
A good hard **** with a solid object is usually enough to get it working correctly. Failing that, it will need to be replaced.
