Re: Vacuum Canister?
Might be called vacuum storage tank, but I believe this is a dealer part anyway.

Re: Vacuum Canister?

Re: Vacuum Canister?
Hi All - if this is broken, would I get good heat out the floor duct, but hardly anything out of the vents when I switch the control to VENT... or is there somewhere else I should look.
Thanks so much! |

Exactly what was happen with mine. Look for a leak. The vacuum canister is under the left front fender, or at least should be.  |

Re: Vacuum Canister?
one other question - how did you access it? from under the car, or from the air box, and then down? from inside of engine compartment?
Where did that hose connect to? Thanks |

Re: Vacuum Canister?
The vents default to hi/low (defrost and floor vents) when vacuum is lost. Doesn't matter if it's seat on heat or A/C.
There's a vac line that runs to the vac reservoir that is susceptible to getting pinched or broken when replacing the battery...it sometimes ends up in the way and gets trapped under it or disconnected. I'd look there first if it may have been a possibility...

Re: Vacuum Canister?
Canister is accessed from below the car. The Dorman model is not a OEM replacement and you will have to modify mounting in order to install it.

Re: Vacuum Canister?
you can find it if you take left driver side wheel off and get that plastic protection guard, and those lines are really easy to brake, so you can buy fro autozone or other part stores the lines to replace.
If you can find another one of those vacum canister form junk yard, or dealer, it's easy thing to replace. |
