Nobody has any ideas?Ive looked@all of the vac lines&they all seem fine.But the one I spoke of earlier sucks even when the control **** is in the off position.When I rev the motor it will suck harder.This is driving me nuts.

If you have insufficient vacuum, (like a leak at the control head would give you) the doors won't work right. Need to address that problem first. If it is the actual control that's leaking, you have to replace the whole thing. It isn't serviceable. (at least, not according to dodge....)

I dont think its the control itself like I said when I took the vacuum harness off the one line is constantly sucking.So if its on&I out it in the off position,the circulate or vents it will suck.If its on the defrost, dash or floor it works fine.I replaced tons of vacuum lines nada Im guessing it's the blend door actuator.but I have no idea how to check it.Id hate to take it to a shop for this .

Topofthe pagewhereyoupostedyourthread.

Here it is: 2nd Gen Ram FAQs, DIYs & How To's

There is also a service manual that you can download there as well. It can help with the problem.
