Fuel Cap issues

Hi,
I joined a few months ago having purchased a 57 plate 2.4 D5 XC90.

We appear to have our first fault with the fuel cap. The fuel cap refuses to open.
We discovered the fault a few days ago when unlocking the car that the fuel cap would not unlock. No amount of combinations of door open, boot open, locking unlocking, trying the 2nd key will fix it.

I understand the 10 minute delay where it keeps it unlocked for 10 minutes after you lock the car but we appear to have a fault.

Fuel cap will simply not unlock. I have to open the boot and manually release it, once done, we can lock the car and then after 10 minutes the fuel cap will lock. This suggests to me that power, whatever is still working on the fuel cap because it does lock.

Ive looked here and can't actually see a fuse for It

We could live with this but its just frustrating having to manually unlock it when we refuel. We could leave it unlocked if it didn't lock itself but it does and the door swings open if you drive with it unlocked anyway.

Anyone seen such a situation before? We do not have a button inside the car to unlock it like you do on some Volvos.

Many thanks in advance.
