Pull the gauge cluster and check the connections at the key switch. Check that the key switch is closed with the key in the run/2 position and open in the off/0 position.
Not sure what you mean that the stiped brown line has attachments. Are there splitters or did someone splice the line with rubber hose. IIRC it shoud run uninterrupted from the key switch to the shut-off actuator. Sixto 87 300D |

Thanks. How do you remove the gauge cluster? Not sure what you mean that the stiped brown line has attachments. Are there splitters or did someone splice the line with rubber hose. IIRC it shoud run uninterrupted from the key switch to the shut-off actuator. The striped brown line has no interruptions ( no tees or splitters) between the firewall and the shut-off actuator. It does have a 2-3 inch section of black rubber hose between the firewall and actuator, but that hose just connects two section of brown line. |

sixto - you are the man, thanks.
so the cut-off vacuum tube should be visible and accessible with the dash cluster removed? |

To me there is better access through the gauge cluster cavity. Some might prefer access from below. Since pulling the cluster takes but a couple of minutes, I'd start with that.
Vacuum line is just vacuum line. The key, I think, is to test the key switch itself. Sixto 87 300D |
