When I turn the heater on, it is not pulling a vacuum in the vacuum line that plugs into the vacuum control motor. As a result, this prevents the vent from opening to allow air flow across the hearter core. Why am I not getting a vacuum in this line. I beleave all the controlls are working correctly.

First thing to check is do you have vac at the heater switch. If yes then the switch is not switching vac may be disconnected at switch. Check vac line comeing inside truck from firewall may be broken or kinked

My ranger has a broken vacuum line and I need to know where it goes. I have figured out that one line goes to the purge valve and I don't know where the other one goes. Please help.
