Help A/C problem!
My vacuum actuated blower door is evidently not working. The selector for vent-defrost-etc. does nothing. How do I get to where I need to be to fix it?? I'm hoping it is just stuck?

Probably the vaccuum line that runs from the rear of the intake manifold to the canister thats under the pass side fender. 1st, did the intake manifold come off for any reason (oil press. switch change, z06 intake swap?) if not, then remove FR wheel, then remove the splash guard that covers the ECU. Poke around in there and check for breaks in the 5/32" line(s) that are under the battery. Could be eaten by acid. Pull the line that goes into the canister and feel for vaccuum. If no vaccum, its probably kinked/broken. Mine was broken INSIDE where the line goes into the harness. If this happens, run a new line (go to auto parts store, and buy 5/32" OD hard vaccum line) from intake manifold to that canister.

That was it exactly
I pulled the fender and the line was broke as it went in the harness. Did you run the line outside of the harness? Where exactly does it go into the intake? Did you have to pull the intake? Thanks for all of your help!!

Yes, ran outside harness.
It is behind the intake manifold and the firewall. I have rather small hands and even I had to pull the intake manifold. If you have any remaining slack in the vacccuum line you can 'repair' that area. I could not because the break was so far inside.
