Here's an annoying one... On my 99 Wrangler Sport...

I have hardly any air running up to the defroster. It's blowing, just
something in the vent system doesn't seem to be opening up.

Other times I'll be driving along with the heater or AC on and it'll
make a 'thunking' noise like something is opening or closing.. and the
fan will shut off.

I've surmissed it must be vacuum related.. but anyone know how/where to
check this?

The main vacuum connection should be on the rear corner of the intake
manifold. I would start there looking for a cracked fitting or line.

Real Jeeps don't have vacuum control on the heater.

Most "real" Jeeps don't even have working heaters until you get moving
