Trying to fix a few issues with my ride this weekend and aint made any progress lol. Ever since I bought the car last spring the AC has been blowing out the defrost vents, I searched the forums and this looks like a vacuum leak, I checked all the lines running from the throttle body all the to the firewall and they appear ok, its the red hard plastic lines, I pulled the control panel out out of the console and not sure what I'm looking at other than trying to find a line disconnected or broke, is there some better way to check this or does anyone have any advise?

I have a 97 mustang v6 and my line was broken on the tree(manifold), open your hood and look in the right top hand corner. It will be a manifold with 3 lines coming from it, it should have a very very skinny line coming from it if you dont see it plugged in,it may be dangling around in that area.

Yup, should be a vacuum line. Mine did this, and that's what it was. It'll be on the firewall side of the diagnostic vacuum port (plastic thingy with a capped off nipple where you can check the vacuum).
