- In this video I show you how to fix a common problem with vacuum lines. If your A/C is only running thru your defrost vents and your cruise control is not working, a vacuum line is probably the problem.
After having replaced both A/C vacuum check valves, this ended up being the issue with my Dodge not blowing air out of the vents under hard acceleration or going up hills. The dealer was closed when I did this repair. So, I just used a 1/4" vacuum line from the local parts store. I believe it was about $5.
How did you remove the glove box. I don't want to break it
There are two plastic tabs on the back of the glove box when you open it. Squeeze those in enough to clear the rubber stops, and it should be able to swing all the open. If you want to completely remove it, remove the screws at the bottom after doing the above step.
Bought a new Clock Spring. Air bag light goes out, Cruise button turns on. But still no horn, or Cruise Control. There is heat and air conditioning, just doesn't work really well. So you are saying this Vaccum Line will fix all this?
I would trace all your vacuum lines to the source if possible. There is a speed control servo under the drivers side battery. They get hit with a lot of heat from the engine and like all plastic components they become brittle and break after time. That might be the culprit for the cruise control. The horn is all electrical and doesn't require any vacuum. Check your horn fuse and connections. Hope this helps.
Did this fix your crank case breather smoke?
No it doesn't. A little bit of smoke is normal. If you are having excessive smoke, that could be an issue with excessive blow by.
Where does the line you spliced into ultimately lead?
Does go to to the back of the hvac control panel? Or does it go to another place in the dash?
@@user-or9yq9sl8o it does go to the back of the control panel on the dash.
Did it matter which vacuum line you spliced it into by chance?
I would try and splice it back into the original source line if possible. There are multiple vacuum lines that do run to different things. It may not have the result you want. As an example if you are trying to control the vent lines, try and plug back into that line.
@@shadetreemotorworks8461 figured it out…..vacuum barrel adapter to the vacuum itself went bad probably due to the heat in the bay
