I’ve been having issues with my a/c not coming out of the vents that I select. Looked at all the lines didn’t see any issues and saw a video on YouTube about one under the battery tray that you have to remove the battery and tray to get to it. Myself being lazy figured there was a lazier way of doing it so I followed the line down to where it goes into this box under the Jeep right behind the passenger wheel well

On the inside of this box is a small oval shaped hole with just enough room to fit your fingers. Right in side is the vacuum line hook up.

Lucky for me the line was snapped right at the rubber boot I was able to pull enough line through the hole snip it to a clean cut. Pull out the rubber boot slide in the vacuum line and reconnect the boot. Not sure this will work for everyone but if your lazy like me you may just have the same issue and can easily fix it.
