Pass Side Kickpanel vacuum thing?
« on: July 12, 2016, 08:59:57 pm »
I am trying to put my passenger side kick panel back on and need to hook up the vacuum thingy.  Problem is it wasn't on the truck when I bought it.  Does anyone have a picture of how it hooks up and where the vacuum hose comes from under the dash?

Ditto, I took mine apart and can't get the direction right.  Please help with a picture!

Look behind the glove box, should be like 3 small vac lines running across the top of the heater box where the cable for the heat diverter door connects or in that general  area. One goes to the outside air flap, one to the vac reserve ball on the firewall and the other should be for the passenger kick panel diaphragm.   
IIRC off the top off my head.

The vac manifold is on the back of the selector panel and runs defrost, heat, recirc air diaphragms and the vac source the ball.

Hard to get pics of that without being apart.
