Locating and fixing the A/C vacuum problem
Had this posted in C5 Tech w/ not may responses. Thought maybe the C5 General crowd could help...
I believe that I have the issue with a vacuum line either pulled off or damaged, as there are no changes when I move the A/C through the various vent options. How hard is it to get at the vacuum line and where is the exact location? I've tried to find it, ( I believe it is at the back of the manifold) but have had no luck. I've also heard that the issue may also be with a line accessed via the fender well. Any help would be appreciated, particularly pics and steps for correction. Thanks Zuti

That is the first place I would look. That is where mine was damaged, Was not that hard to fix. The vacuum canister is on the pass. side, Pull the wheel off & then the wheel well access panel. Just follow the vac lines from the canister to where the line goes into the wire harness. That is where mine was damaged. Also be sure to check the vac line that goes through the firewall, If the battery leaked chances are good that it will be damaged too. Good luck with the repairs.
