Default Heater vents control vacuum pipe configuration?

Hi all,

I need the correct confuguration for the vacuum pipes at the connector behind the glove box (1998 XJ with air con).The colours are green, brown, red, yellow, blue and black that are on the connector which link into the actuators and the control **** on the dash. Then there is the main vacuum pipe that comes through the firewall into the Jeep but how does this attach to the connector with all the other colours to provide a vacuum for the other coloured pipes? Is something missing maybe?
The pictures are at the bottom of this thread from another Jeep website.

Thanks in advance.

The Limey.

Thanks for that really helpful to have colour codes for the vacuum pipes at last!
From reading through that part of the manual it shows that the main vacuum pipe that comes through the firewall to behind the glove box has a connector on it to connect into where? I dont have a connector on the end of my main vacuum pipe and cant see anywhere for it to connect into on the vacuum harness.

Thanks again.

Ok so done a bit more digging around and have come up with the following. All the actuators work that control the vents, there is no vacuum leak in the engine bay and the Diesel does not have a vacuum canister behind the bumper like the petrols it is an electronic unit in the engine bay.

The problem is the main large vacuum hose that comes from the engine bay into the cab has no where obvious to connect onto to provide the direction **** with the vacuum it needs to move the actuators. Where the hell does this pipe connect onto? The pipe comes in under the passenger kick plate under the glovebox, dont suppose anyone would mind having a look at theirs to see where it connects onto?
