So i got a new 99' XJ and I'm trying to work out all of the bugs. Current problem:
-No front defroster.
No matter where the switch is I have no front defroster, nothing comes out of the vents. I assume my vacumes are all fine considering cruise control works just dandy. I took the radio out and I'm able to push down the vacume powered flapper to get defrost. Thus I must have a bad vacume switch/actuator, a bad linkage or bad control switch. I have traced the vacume lines from the back of the control switch to under the passenger side dash.
I figured I would ask before I started ripping everything out. Anyone know how to test which of the three units is bad? Also where are the vacume actuators located? Anyone else have this issue and solve it, or does everyone have a ghetto coat hanger to push open the defroster flap? Thanks for the help everyone.
