There is no switch as such. It's operated from the central locking system.
You can access the operating solenoid from inside the boot/trunk by removing
one of the inner panels. The locking rod can usually be moved by hand te
release the flap.

There is no switch or button. The door is tied to the car doors, and locks
when the doors are locked. If the doors are not locked, the fuel filler door
is also not locked, and you simply place your finger into the little recess
and pull the door open. Easy stuff really.

If you're lucky, the little plastic pull cord hasn't broken and you
don't even have to pull the side panel out...
