CC vacuum pod with lever ti shut off defrost
 
In my recent gorilla extraction of a broken ignition, I managed to knock loose the red/blue vacuum line from the pink pod in the driver's footwell. Where does it connect behind the dash? The center vents no longer work - air goes to defrost - but vacuum on the red/black line from the center vent pod accuates the flap. Also, should the six way connector behind the cc hold vacuum - mine doesn't, but just the center vents fail to operate. the Pink pod in the drivers footwell does hold vaccum. I zip tied the lever down on that to close the defrost and stop fogging my windshield, now I have super fan out of the two outside vents. Does this sound like a bad actuator valve behind the cc unit to anyone else?

My guess would be that it is more likely to be a rubber bladder in a pod, or just a line disconnected. The bladder in the pod to the center vents is the most likely to go bad first as it is baked more in the sun. There is more than one vac line up behind that pod also. Just repaired one this past weekend.
