This just started yesterday. Every time I turn on my air conditioning the front window defogger turns on instead. Does anybody know how to fix this?

you can just splice it in on the plastic line with some 1/8 inch hose or something. The hose for that connection runs fromt he vacuum tree on the dr. side to the firewall aroudn about where the heater core is at.

you say "after you tore out all the vacuum lines in the dash". does that mean you really didn't have to take the dash off?

Look for any thin vacuum hoses that come out of the firewall on the pass side, kinda where the heater core hoses are. Follow that hose to the vacuum tree. At about the area where the back of the intake is, there is a plastic connector connecting 2 hoses (the a/c is NOT just ONE hose). Mine was cracked right where the hose attaches to the connector. I just used some electric tape to hold it until I fixed it.
