Hello all,

What is the best way to get behind the dash to repair the vacuum leak? Do I go up behind the glovebox or do I need to pull the control console for the air and stereo out?

My 2000 GT has, as the title would suggest, a vacuum leak behind the dash. This is the vacuum circuit that powers the defroster that runs off manifold vacuum as far as this iced tea drinker can tell.

Depends on where the leak is. Pulling the air controls and stereo gives you limited access. I'm not sure the glove box would afford much more. I'd be inclined to take the dash to allow easier access
