This is kinda wierd but when I have my AC on and the gas pedal half or more down my car switches for blowing out the vents to blowing out the defrost. I'm assuming it has to do with vacuum but where should I look?

Or, if you have auto climate control with the thermal blower lockout thing, the vacuum connector there could be leaking. Definite major vac leak on the climate control's vacuum source tho.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Do the canisters have to be big. I got a smaller reserve one and I wonder if it will work.Chris - A 20th Century Man \m/ ^.^ \m/Comment

Mines pretty rusty. I looked for a plastic one last time I was at the wreckers but I couldn't find one. What years am I looking at? and is it located in the same place? A pic of one would be cool.Comment

1990+ I think had the plastic one. Its on the driver's fender with a relay box attached to it. It looks like some sort of electronic thing, but its really not. Look for the ECM relay, and thats the vacuum reservoir.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
