[DML] Re: AC mode switch

["Sean" <sweitzel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I'd be willing to bet that what's actually up is that the
diaphragm in the mode switch is either in backwards or the rubber nubs
molded into the diaphragm itself are worn or broke, so that it is not
in the correct position to direct vacuum to the correct vacuum line
depending on the position of the switch. I would advise disassembling
it to check. It's not terribly difficult.
