Thanks JimY

Being reluctant to pull the Air Bag, I went after the Reservoir because I couldn't get a vac from where it connects to the Check Valve. I pulled the fender inner panel, released the reservoir and CUT the line. Reservoir tested OK. [At least that's one item I don't have to buy.] But no vac to check valve. Removed the battery, its tray and the tube to the check valve and found the cause. A worn area [see pik] about 4" from the battery in front of heater box. The puzzle is what caused the hole, considering the slack in the tube.

Fortunately, I had some spare tubing. I did the repair and now have vac from check valve to reservoir. Unfortunately, the footwell pod still isn't opening. I think I'll pay my ide to test the Climate Control unit before I pull the air bag to check the vac controller. I'd be really embarrassed to find the climate control unit bad after I pulled the air bag.

PS I'm guessing the other reservoir is for the seats.
