Default vacuum system troubleshooting

Where is the best place to get a troubleshooting guide for the accessory vacuum system? I have a vacuum tester, I just need to know what to test. Thanks a lot.

The Chassis Service Manual has good information on the wiper door system and the headlight system.
Doc Rebuild has a guide for testing each component of the systems with you vacuum tester. Many of the other vendors have trouble shooting guides in their catalogues.
There is also LOTS of info on the various forums if you search the archives.
Regards,
Alan
