Help!! Can't open gas cap cover!!!

My lock cylinder recently broke and I had to have a locksmith get into my car. The button on my keys has not worked for some time. Since then, the unlock button on the center console does not work and I can't unlock the two rear doors or the gas cap cover. I'm pretty sure I need to get my GM3 module repaired by Scott, but is there any way to unlock the gas cap cover manually?? I need to be able to put gas in my truck ASAP!!! I've gotta use the X to tow the race car on Friday, and I have no gas.

Assuming you have an E53: Remove the right cover in the cargo area. You should see the green puller for the gas filler door. Pull it.
Look in the area around the fuse panel.
