92 A/C vacuum block
Hey All,
Was trying to figure out why my A/C blows out of the Defroster vents only.
Removed the vacuum connector from the vacuum block on the controller, now I can't get the connector back on the vacuum block.
Also the rubber ends of the vacuum block have split from me trying to get it back on.
Can the vacuum block be fixed or bought?
How do you get the damn thing reconnected?
Thanks,
Roy

You probably have a bad vacuum check valve ($4 at any auto parts store). It's under the passenger side fuel rail cover:
Some of them are all black and shaped slightly differently but it will be in the same position.

The default mode for the HVAC system is heat, so the air will come out of the defrost duct and the ducts under the dash.

Now I have the programmer / controller (not sure what it's called) the unit by the gas peddle disconnected from the vacuum block and the rubber ends of the block ( the ends on the controller side) are splitting.
I can't get the connector back on the block and concerned the rubber ends are to far gone to reconnect.
Is there a trick to reconnecting the block?

That was the 1st thing I replaced.

A trick to connecting? I don't know but I'd ask "pcolt94" for help. He's successfully repaired electrical in the programmer and I'm sure understands and could explain "first hand" the vacuum connector.

The C68 harness is the same all years '90+. If you feel yours is way far gone you could search eBay for 10158085 or post a WTB or whatever. A correct harness would have a taped tag with the part # on it.

Will try reaching out to "pcolt94"

I understand where you're struggling. I've never had a need to "be there". Use eBay to search for that number I mentioned and there should be a few I believe you can ZOOM and what not.
