  • čas přidán 7. 06. 2014
  • This is a fix for vent problems in a 1998 ford expedition.
    Symptoms:
    Air would only blow thru the defrost vents (setting) only regardless of vent setting.
    Reason for problem:
    Vacuum tube connected thru firewall was compromised (dry rot).
    Solution:
    Bought vacuum hose connector and bridged the two broken lines with it.
    Notes: As stated in the video, seems like this is a common problem in fords (Especially Expedition).
    Feel free to comment below!!

    oh please what is the size of that piece of hose you use to bridge that two hoses, just the size please, I have a same car, same problem too. thanks again for your help.

  • @krissywolf1747
    @krissywolf1747 Před 5 lety

    I can hear a leak over there, it does the same thing but i can't see any cracks or anything. The air sounds like its leaking after the car is turned off

  • @nicholaskorner2258
    @nicholaskorner2258 Před 5 lety

    There is a vacuum circle so to speak that basically encircles the intake... It is almost always 1 of the little hoses in that circle that just rots away from age... Honestly you could have connected those with duct tape and it would have worked just fine.... Your fix should last much longer than a year...

  • @andreiglesias5876
    @andreiglesias5876 Před 4 lety

  • @billybrown2999
    @billybrown2999 Před 9 lety

    Hi I tried what you said to do from your video and it worked perfect. the only difference was my vacuum hose had come out of that firewall bushing. when I pushed it back in it worked. The mechanic must have accidentally pulled it out when he changed the battery.

  • @im2crafty
    @im2crafty Před 9 lety

    thanks for the video, exactly the same thing with me, but my T-connector snapped off.
    i called my local shop and they said it's probably the blend door acuator ($600.) i'll get
    a connector and see what happens..if it works -i got a happy wife with a/c.

  • @rafaelgutierrez774
    @rafaelgutierrez774 Před 7 lety

    Thank u for point me in the right direction I was try to put that connection on mine and it broke real short so I ended up using a clear tube from a extra breathing machine I had a it was alot more snugged then the connection

  • @robichin5092
    @robichin5092 Před 8 lety +1

    Iam having a similar issue with my truck. I can get ac thru my panel vents, but not heat. I'd put the heat on and it feels like ac is coming out, but the rear vents are blowing out heat. Any suggestions?

    • @JayBlazingProphecy
      @JayBlazingProphecy Před 4 lety

      Mines the same except i only have heat in front but back blows hot and cold

    This is what mine keeps doing, but the floor vent is also always on anytime the air is turned on. But the air is always ice cold.but i cant find a leak anywhere. I can hear one just cant find it.

    Took my truck into get that same tube fixed, the fucking idiot pulled the tube away from wherever it connects behind the firewall. He can't fix it. Anyone know where that line connects to and the fix besides pulling the fucking dash board?
