I now realize that the A/C is working fine in my 2002 Ranger XLT but I'm just not getting air flow out the dash vents for a few minutes. Instead, there is air flow out the defroster vents. From what I read, this is the default condition for a poor system vacuum.
I removed the vacuum reservoir and checked it with my Mytivac only to find that it holds a vacuum just fine and the check valve is working correctly.
I then put the Mytivac on the vacuum line into the cab (ignition off) but the in-cab system will not hold a vacuum. Should this be expected or does this mean a vacuum leak in the interior air flow control system? If so, any place to start looking?
