Dude!!! It’s been over a decade with A/C in the defrost, and no Cruise. I just passed the 2005 wrangler unlimited to the 17 year old kid. And you’ve completely upgraded a vehicle I’ve been driving for 16+ years. You are a GOD to me. Bless you wise one.
Holy Shit! I've been living with it blowing through the defrost for almost a year, because i figured it would be a pain in the ass to fix. My hole was exactly where yours was. 1" of electrical tape, and bam! Thanks for the video!
OMG. This has been the problem the whole time??? Such an easy fix. Been driving around for 3 years with no AC blowing out the front panel vents. It was cracked in the same EXACT infamous spot that you taped up. The line was resting on a hot coolant pipe, and you could see the mark where it had been rubbing against it for years after the vacuum line cracked.
My wife’s 2004 Wrangler TJ went out back in Jan. I decided to fix it. Replaced the inside switch assembly $65. Nope still blows defrost. Replace the regulator $25. Nope still not fixed. Watched your video and tubing was in same spot broke in 2. 1” piece of tubing and 2” electrical tape and it’s good to go. Guess who gets to drive it now? This guy!!!
This video saved my life! Of course I discover my AC doesn't work when it's 112 degrees in AZ and also my cruise control on the same day. I had no idea they were related to the same issue! Just had to pop my vacuum line back in and everything worked again!! Thank you so much good sir! Quickest cheapest easiest Jeep fix I have ever done
Perfect! Thanks! I had a slit at the T. I used the electrical tape and zip tied it- exactly as you said- and it started working properly immediately. It only took 3 minutes.
I've got to give you a big thanks. Contacted my local jeep dealer about my a/c doin the same thing.. with a price quote between $325 and $600 ! I never knew that could be the problem ( I don't have cruise ) got to work this morning and looked sure enough line was split , not all the way into. A small piece of tubbing splice over it ,fixed !
Great Video !! I watched it, walked out to my Jeep and popped the hood, and following your instructions, found and fixed the vacuum leak. Good job ! Thank you
That is what my issue was and you just saved me lots of money and time !!!!!, one strip of tape hung the line up higher and it did the trick and living on AZ without AC is killer now I’m back on the road !!!!
'05 Unlimited - 6 sd manual. Like many, mine was disconnected from the engine. The 'L' fitting had gotten soft with no grip left to stay in place. A zip-tie took care of that. Thanks for the quick & easy video!
my line on my 04 tj was cracked right where yours was on the t-joint area,i wrapped some e tape around it and used a few zip ties to keep it up off of the hot hose,like you did in your vid,now it's working like new...Thanks for posting,very helpful vid!
Hey I appreciate this video. We were having problems with the air only coming out of the defroster. I watched your video and sure enough the air hose that was on the driver side was disconnected. Hooked it back on and BAMM works like a charm. Wish I would have seen this video before I spent money on the door accuator and door switch. Thanks a million for your time making this video. Kudos bro
Ive owned several TJs and never knew any of them came with cruise control🤷 Either way this vid was short and to the point and 30 seconds after watching it found that the fitting on the intake plenum simply just fell off. I thank you sir!
Dude you are awesome! Got my Jeep back from engine fuel cleaning and defrost only. Thought the vent control mechanism had broken and would be major expense. Checked and found line was disconnected as you explained. Reconnected and BAM issue solved.
Hey just want to say thanks for the video, I had a cut in my 04 Wrangler is the same spot as you did. This video saved me a lot of time and money. I had no idea the AC controllers were controlled via a vacuum tube, let alone where those tubes would have been located. Thanks again!!
Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to distinguish this problem for so long. I ended up moving that infamous “T” to check it for holes and the lines completely snapped on me. They were so brittle. At least I finally figured out what it was.
Love your style - Straight and to the point! I was searching for the vacuum source connection and couldn't find it until I found your video. Unfortunately, mine is not one of the easy fixes... still searching. Found my problem... mouse damage to the source vacuum line inside the firewall (behind the glove compartment).
Yikes. Yea that’s a big problem. At that point, you’re looking at just taking it to a mechanic who has the means of taking that all apart and reaching in there. Sorry!
Nishant Gogna 2002 TJ 4.0l. I got under jeep and found the line not connected to that box under the battery. I ended up getting a new line (it was in bad shape) and connecting it back up. A/C was back to working! So I just reached under the jeep, I did not remove the tray or anything.
Holy Smokes...u helped me solve my problem with my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Searched and watched a few different videos and found you talking about the vacuum lines (and as a side note...the cruise control not functioning properly). Long story short, I followed both directions of my vacuum lines and found some hair line cracks in the hoses. I put electrical tape around the crack till I can buy some 1/4 in. hose and BAMM, I have Air Flow !!!! Thanks...U Rock!
Thanks for posting this video. I had the exact problem as you. My slit was in the same area of the bend. It was an “oh so slight” nick. Tape it, used cable ties & presto, air through the center vents. Thanks again.
So glad I found this! Dude! I would have never thought about this. Thank you. The 130 degree summers in Needles, CA were getting worse with the windshield getting all the cold air instead of my face. Haha.
Thank you. A very clear, concise explanation and directions. TurbedFixed this issue in thirty seconds because of this video. Just has to pop the hose back onto the engine block. Everything is good now.
I installed a Sub on my liberty and my cruse went out, vents stuck on defrost, and brake booster stopped working, I thought I went through a wiring harness, luckily I just disconnected a vacuum line, this video saved my butt, thanks dude
Loved this vid. 2002 Wrangler TJ. Help me out immensely. Found the rubber connection boot cracked where it connects to the box underneath the battery, and it had fallen off. Repaired, ops check good. I never would have gotten it fixed if not for the video. Thank you!
Freaking awesome i live out here in Rocky Point mexico its 110+ degrees and man you saved my day with this it turned out to be that elbow you specifically pointed out! Hahaja thanks!
Hey thanks for the info.. I had a similar issue where the air would come in either floor, defrost or combination of both. But wouldn't come out the face vents. I noticed the vacuum line by the cruise control was broken.. thanks for the advice cause I never would've expected that to solve the problem.. 👍👍
You’re welcome! :) Yeah that's strange you weren't getting codes. What year is your Jeep? I'm wondering if that was an update, or they removed that in an update? not sure.
thanks for the detailed vid. My Rubicon hose was cracked in the exact location by resting on the heater hose. I ended up using 3 layers of heat shrink. Hopefully that will hold up
This is the first video I've seen where I feel absolutely inclined to post a reply. Well done, to the point, easy to follow and correct!!!! Fixed my issue in two minutes. Liked and subscribed!!!
My 2011 Jeep Patriot only blows air through the first setting (the air blows into my face) but the other settings have stopped blowing air, including the defrost. The battery was replaced twice so perhaps the hose has come loose - will check based on your video. Thanks.
That is actually not a vacuum problem, that is a blower motor resistor problem, and most likely it has failed. I had a similar problem like that in my TJ. Behind the glove box was a resister I could unscrew and pull out. I did and it was melted. Replaced with a part from Amazon for $30, everything working normally again. You're looking for this: www.autozone.com/cooling-heating-and-climate-control/blower-motor-resistor/duralast-blower-motor-resistor-ja1549/200912_145137_0
The vacuum line on my grand Cherokee broke right at the firewall, I have to figure out how to get into the air box to replace the whole line, for now I got a fresh piece of line, slipped heat shrink over the piece coming out of the firewall, shrunk it up and slipped the new line on the other end and did the same, it's a good temporary fix, but at some point I want to do it properly so I won't have to worry about it ever again in the lifetime I own the vehicle
My plastic tube is cracked, right at the firewall at the "T"...going into the wall. Not enough to splice. Looks like it goes into a larger tube through the wall. Can I just install a larger diameter pipe/tube to the one through the wall....and the adapt it to the one-way valve?
damn, I had mine taped up and when the tape broke, my car would start but would stall if i wasnt giving it gas. taped this line back up and it quit stalling!
my jeep runs great while in motion. however when i come to a stop it wants to die then revs up to stay alive. sometimes it stalls out, other times it fails to run while starting off from a stop position, putting me in harms way.
If the T-line is completely slit through, you can try to tape it up (carefully), or you can acquire a makeshift tube that connects the two together. Someone in the comments mentioned a plastic straw. That might help but I haven't tried. But if I was going to try, find a plastic straw that fits as tightly as possible to the tube, slice off a small piece, splice the two sides together inside it (using the straw as a sheath), and E-tape the whole thing up. Then make sure to ziptie the tube off the hot pipe. Give that a shot and see if that helps! Otherwise, you might have to find something at an auto store.
My T valve hose that u put electrical tape on to fix is broken in 2 pieces. Would I be able to just put a vacuum connector between the 2 hoses to fix it? I’m assuming the hose is 5/32”
Thanx!!!I found a bad check valve on the manifold and a cut line to the vacuum canister(the ball behind the bumper).Anyone knows the code for the check valve at 1:27?It's not the same with the one on the manifold,the check valve on the T is smaller.
Did you have idle issues lie a higher than normal about 900 to 1000 with this problem. Mine was running in the 1500. Turned out I had cracked intact and exuast manafold. Once fixed it dropped to 900 to 1000. Air-conditioning works But heater doesn't. I tried to flush the heater core bit it's still clogged. I'm dreading the replacement process. I've replaced the switches. Heating element. Map and other parts on the throttle body And cleaned the throttle body. Cruz control works not sure every time. I don't use it .I don't see any abvious cracks. I might have to do a smoke test. . But truthfully I'm going to replace the engine next year with a golden eagle for more power . .
@@NishantGogna funny I haven't done anything else since this and my jeep runs great. I let it sit for weeks at a time and it always seems to start up with no funny sounds . I did add zinc to my oil and the engine has been pretty reliable. So i decided to keep the engine. However with recent gas spikes. I might to a electric hybrid conversion. Still working out those details
I know you probably hate to hear it, but that's most likely going to require work that's beyond something you can do in a typical home garage. If you are still looking to dive in, however, you would probably need to open the firewall and find the line, add a coupler with more line, and feed it back through the firewall. I believe if you look behind the glovebox, you can see the line coming out from the back end of the firewall. You can pull that out, attach the coupler and feed it back through the firewall, but that still requires opening the firewall to feed it through the other side. Basically, if you have the time and expertise, it's doable, but for most, I'd spend the $300 and get that fixed at a dealer.
What is the part that is connected to the check value and the engine?? I'm missing this part, I've showed a couple of auto stores your video to try to explain it but they have zero clue what it is and how to help.
Is the part you're talking the vacuum tubing soft elbow? shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/dorman-autograde-soft-elbow-vacuum-tubing-connector-assortment-47431/22147140-p?c3ch=PLA&c3nid=22147140-P&adtype=pla&product_channel=local&store_code=5584&gclid=CjwKCAjwkenqBRBgEiwA-bZVtvmDKFPqFZU2tdSCpx45Cq2lWJYUG7EpvnlXZj0nQrGlS71d79cnVRoCPsQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Just got a TJ and AC was blowing threw the top vent only. It was the same hose you fixed. Taped it and it works now. Thanks!

Do you think this solution would work on an 2004 Jeep Liberty?
The vacuum line on my grand Cherokee broke right at the firewall, I have to figure out how to get into the air box to replace the whole line, for now I got a fresh piece of line, slipped heat shrink over the piece coming out of the firewall, shrunk it up and slipped the new line on the other end and did the same, it's a good temporary fix, but at some point I want to do it properly so I won't have to worry about it ever again in the lifetime I own the vehicle

yes, it should be fine. There are no valves in any of the piping you lost.
My line was cracked at the T. went to grab ahold of it and it snapped in half.. proceeded to wing it and tape it and works like new again!!
Yep! That's something you can definitely do if the line hasn't deteriorated too much.
Good stuff man, Thanks!!
You're welcome! :-)

I'm having the same problem with my 2004 Liberty but can't find the check valve
The Liberty may have a different configuration, I’m not sure. But from others have posted here, if it’s a 4.0L, it should be the same
Oh wow... you rock! Thank you
haha :) I aim to please!
Nice! That’s what it was bro thank you!!
All- American you’re welcome! :)
My T valve hose that u put electrical tape on to fix is broken in 2 pieces. Would I be able to just put a vacuum connector between the 2 hoses to fix it? I’m assuming the hose is 5/32”
Hey! Yes you should be able to! It’s just an empty tube so as long as anything fits and you seal it well with etape, you should be good to go!
@@NishantGogna yes thanks, I ended up fixing it with a small piece of rubber hose and electrical tape
Does anyone know what the official part name is for the check valve coming out of the engine block? Mine def needs to be replaced ty in advance
Thank you, vacuum hose juat popped off
You're welcome :) Yeah that tends to happen.
No upper vent? If lines are okay, check under dash where actuator arm connects to vent box. Those plastic arms can snap.
See this happens to me but my cruis control works at all times so in confusion
Nameless it’s most likely still a vacuum line issue. Check the link for cracks! 🙂
Thank you..😊
You're welcome!
Thanx!!!I found a bad check valve on the manifold and a cut line to the vacuum canister(the ball behind the bumper).Anyone knows the code for the check valve at 1:27?It's not the same with the one on the manifold,the check valve on the T is smaller.
Where would I find this part to fix because where you taped your wire. I checked mine and its ripped off.
Check any auto parts store, or check a salvage lot, or worse comes to worse, check with a Jeep dealership. They will definitely have it.
@@NishantGogna Okay thank you so much.
Did you have idle issues lie a higher than normal about 900 to 1000 with this problem. Mine was running in the 1500. Turned out I had cracked intact and exuast manafold. Once fixed it dropped to 900 to 1000. Air-conditioning works But heater doesn't. I tried to flush the heater core bit it's still clogged. I'm dreading the replacement process. I've replaced the switches. Heating element. Map and other parts on the throttle body And cleaned the throttle body. Cruz control works not sure every time. I don't use it .I don't see any abvious cracks. I might have to do a smoke test. . But truthfully I'm going to replace the engine next year with a golden eagle for more power . .
Yeah if you're talking cracked intake and exhaust manifold, those are signs of bigger problems. If you're replacing the engine, go for it.
@@NishantGogna funny I haven't done anything else since this and my jeep runs great. I let it sit for weeks at a time and it always seems to start up with no funny sounds . I did add zinc to my oil and the engine has been pretty reliable. So i decided to keep the engine. However with recent gas spikes. I might to a electric hybrid conversion. Still working out those details
How would you fix if it broke right at the fire wall with nothing sticking out
I know you probably hate to hear it, but that's most likely going to require work that's beyond something you can do in a typical home garage. If you are still looking to dive in, however, you would probably need to open the firewall and find the line, add a coupler with more line, and feed it back through the firewall. I believe if you look behind the glovebox, you can see the line coming out from the back end of the firewall. You can pull that out, attach the coupler and feed it back through the firewall, but that still requires opening the firewall to feed it through the other side. Basically, if you have the time and expertise, it's doable, but for most, I'd spend the $300 and get that fixed at a dealer.
Try a repair vacuum kit from Autozone....it may have a coupple that may help.
What is the part that is connected to the check value and the engine?? I'm missing this part, I've showed a couple of auto stores your video to try to explain it but they have zero clue what it is and how to help.
Is the part you're talking the vacuum tubing soft elbow? shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/dorman-autograde-soft-elbow-vacuum-tubing-connector-assortment-47431/22147140-p?c3ch=PLA&c3nid=22147140-P&adtype=pla&product_channel=local&store_code=5584&gclid=CjwKCAjwkenqBRBgEiwA-bZVtvmDKFPqFZU2tdSCpx45Cq2lWJYUG7EpvnlXZj0nQrGlS71d79cnVRoCPsQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
@@NishantGogna omgshshs yesss!! Thank you!!
@@skyrimfox798 That's a pretty common part lol. I'm genuinely surprised the folks at that auto store had no idea what that was. Yikes haha.
