Cruise control / Heater vent selector

I just replaced my VP44 and when I took my truck for a test drive I found two more problems

My cruise control will turn on but will not actuate.


My heater works but wont change from the defroster position regardless of my choice!


I cant find fuses for either of these systems, does anybody have any helpful information?

My guess is that while you were working on your VP you pulled loose your vacuum line from your vac pump. The reason I know this is because I did the same thing. Those two poblems both run off the vac pump. Should be a stiff plastic tube which plugs into a rubber tube at the pump.

The hard plastic line can be brittle. Mine broke in a couple places. Rubber vacuum line from autoparts store spliced the pieces together.

Same place. The vacuum pump is in front of the PS pump. There is a port on the side of it. Just trace the hose from there to the places it goes, e.g. cruise control actuator, under the left battery, and the HVAC plumbing, which enters the firewall directly above the exhaust manifold. If you have a 96 or older truck, you also have a brake booster and a vacuum sensor for the bakes on the left fender well.
