Open the trunk, open the tool box on the right side, pull the manual release tab. The fuel door is locked/unlocked by an electric solenoid actuator. It runs off the door locks, there is no separate switch for it. If all the other door locks work, or some of them, you probably have a bad actuator motor. Listen in the trunk and see if you can hear the motor working when someone locks and unlocks the drivers door with the key in the door lock, with the door closed. If you hear noise, the linkage may just be off. No noise = motor not working, either because it is bad or not receiving a signal.
