[DML] Re: Another AC Problem

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you only hear the leak in "Max", it is most likely the vacuum line
back to the heater core shutoff valve. If I remember the mode switch
chart correctly (am at work at the moment), that's the *ONLY*
difference between "Norm" and "Max" A/C. Is a hard plastic line from
the factory, very susceptible to cracking. Passes under the console. I
replaced mine with windshield washer hose for now. One of these days
will rustle up some 1/8" fuel line hose instead.
