Heater vacuum hose


I haven't had any heat blowing out of the vents, and recently noticed a loose vacuum hose just sitting hanging down in my floorboard. After some help by the guys on the IFSJ forum I was able to locate the vacuum motor and reattach the hose. Thought I'd post a pic in case anyone else was having the same issue. By the way this happened after messing with the radio and heater control on the dash. The vacuum line really doesn't have much slack in it so if it's hung up on another wire behind the dash it's pretty easy to pull it off the motor. I rerouted it just a bit to give me as much slack as possible.

  1. There are actually 2 vacuum motors. I believe 1 controls the defrost - this one is just to the drivers side of the center hump under the dash. And the other (the one in the pics) controls the heat coming from the blower and it is behind the dash on the passenger side. If you stick your head under there you can barely see it way up there. It is just big enough to get one hand up there to reattach.
