    Like it says my vents in the dash are not blowing any air out at all. The "defrost" one pointing at the windshield works but that's about it. I have A/C but it does me no good when it's like this. I should check the hoses themselves for clogs it seems, but how tough is it to do? This is something I can't get around, I know. Do i have to remove the whole dash or anything? I hope not.

    You have a vacuum leak. The topic has been covered on here before. You either need a new switch or the vacuum canister under the hood is leaking.

    Yup, I have none of the vacuum hoses on my car connected to anything, and that's all I have is defrost.

    I have the same problem. How do you go about fixing this?
    Also, is this the vacuum canister?

    on my vacuum canister I had a leak right where the nipples attach to the the canister. Take it out and take a look at it and you'll see the hole. I used some silicone and fixed it right up.

    I'll try that. I wasn't 100% sure if that thing was the canister or not.
