Help identifying vacuum line

Hello everyone,

I went to check the vacuum system prior to making transmission adjustments and was only getting 15" at the main to the shutoff valve.

I started checking lines going into the cabin and found when I plugged the brown? one in the picture the vacuum went right up to 20+". The line in question is shown in the attachment.

The manual says "To other vacuum consumers". Which is totally usless information.
Can anyone identify this line and tell me what it does?

Thanks

Danny

The black lines into the cabin are vents. They end a few inches through the firewall.

I'm pretty sure the brown and brown/red lines go to the key switch for the shut-off valve.

The other line goes through the yellow check valve then splits. One line goes into the cabin for the ACC, the other goes under the fuse box and into the left fender to the vacuum reservoir eggcrate.

Thanks Sixto,
the red/green and white lines are fine. It's just the brown one that's leaking vacuum.
Maybe I'll pull the cluster out tomorrow and see what I can see. I'm wondering how long it's been like that. I had a new radio installed not to long ago but the AC and all the switches work fine.
If I find out anything I'll report back.

Just to follow up the line in question goes to the ignition switch.
