EVAP Vent valve under the rear of the car

As you said gas cap, or other leak in EVAP system, check fuel vapour line up above the rear axle and try to blow through the purge valve under the hood, it should be closed and not allow air in either direction

It would be a good idea to find out why it blew.

The wires have been known to fray.

So did the fuse blow again?

Did both codes arrive at the same time or did you ignore a CEL for awhile?

If the fuse blew again it could be a short (duh.) If it didn’t you could try clearing the codes, or did you already do that?

I don’t see how you have an explanation for P0455 yet tho.

The good news is a large leak might be easily found with a smoke test. I have a nagging P0442 small leak, too small for a smoke test to detect, apparently.

P0449 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vent Solenoid Control Circuit
P0455 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak
