Do the other controls work? Fyi, there is a "bottle", a vacuum reservoir behind the right front bumper. If it's broken/cracked, or not hooked up right you might have trouble with the vacuum controls....

Yep. Most likely a vacuum leak. Also, check along that vacuum line that runs from the canister all the way along the side of the engine bay area and along the firewall.

It's usually a good Idea to post what Jeep you have. My 90 has a Reservoir way up behind the right front bumper! A "larger" Vac line runs from the manifold somewhere, back, across than all the way up to that. Then there is a smaller line coming back that goes to the vent controls in the dash. (I don't have cruse, but I guess that would do that as well.
