Where are the vacuum hose located at on '97 Pontiac grand am? Where are the vacuum hose located at on '97 Pontiac grand am?
You have a vacuum line disconnected probably under the hood. The HVAC controls are operated by vacuum and when there is no vacuum it system goes into defrost mode.
The 2000 Pontiac Montana does not have a vacuum modulator installed on it. Instead, it has an electronically controlled transaxle.
The heater/ac doors are all electric. They are not vacuum controlled.
most likely your heater controls run via vacuum lines. cracked or broken lines could cause this.
To change the transmission modulator valve in a 97 Pontiac Bonneville you will first need to lift the vehicle off the ground. Then, remove the vacuum hose and the defective valve. You can then replace with new, and replace the hose.

The heater blend door is not run by vacuum. It is run by an electric actuator.
heater control valvevery hard to do, you must lean over the top of the engine to disconnect the hose at the heater core where the hose comes thru the firewall, then do the rest of the work from underneath the van on the passengers side. altho i found it is a bit easier if you remove the power steering pump and reach your hands down to the valve, aproximatly on top of the oil filter. There is a vacuum line attached to the valve
The vacuum line diagram for a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix can be found in the service manual. Vacuum is provided by the engine and leaks can cause serious performance issues.
if im not mistaken the heater control has vacuum lines. take off heater controls and see if you have a bad vacuum line to heater box.
The heater control valve is used to shut off hot coolant from entering the core when the heater is in the off position. A heater control valve can be actuated by either a vacuum line or a cable from the vacuum heater control valve to the heater core. This hose should be warm; if not the heater control valve is stuck and needs to be replaced
