First U have 2 make sure U have Vaccume @ the belt driven Vac.Pump,then U have 2 repair the Vac.Leak. Some Dodge truck have Vac.lines near the battery & Bat.Acid will make the Vac. line Brake.Some of the Vac.Hoses are in a plastic loom that keeps the hoses & wires 2gether.Loss Of Vac.2 the control is the problem.
I have a 2001 - my problem solution was the vacuum hose that is located right under the weatherstriping for the hood. Just about the center of the block, there is a rubber elbow that faces down and bends to the rear of the truck. The is a small vacuum line that is in a plastic wire loom that should be connected to this elbow. My hose fell out of the elbow and was against the firewall. I re-connected this hose and put a small zip-tie on it(to avoid the problem in the furture) and it now works perfectly! P.S. The 4 wheel drive will not engage the front tires with this hose off either. I found this out the hard way as I got my truck stuck on a slimmy boat ramp trying to pull out my boat!

Something about the vacuum linr being unattached, maybe from the firewall. im trying to figure out the same. The main vacuum supply line is disconnected or cracked, probably near the engine. All the HVAC doors operate on vacuum. When there is no vacuum the HVAC system goes into defrost mode.
