Can anyone help. I was pushing wires up under the glove box in '90 lx and I heard what sounded like a vacuum diaphagm open or close. When I put the A/C on or anything else it only blows out from defroster. Everything looks connected.

Thats what I thought. Its tight and difficult behind there to follow lines.
Does anyone have a diagram of the vacuum lines. Its about 90 degees outside. I dont want to have to take dash off. I'd appreciate any leads
thanks

just look for a cluster of really colorful vacuum hoses, they should be right under/around your a/c box and blower motor, most likely you pulled the connector that contols the recirculate vent apart and it just needs to be put back together, also ck the diaphragm mounted to the blower unit, sometimes that one will pull off pretty easy too...

I found the cluster of colorful vacuum lines, but which connector controls the vent.
