So the po had the canister zip tied up and a few days ago it fell off and now my heater will only blow out the defroster. I cant seem to find one anywhere local. It was 19 degrees this morning im about to freeze!! So is there any way to fix this by rerouting the vaccum lines or making your own canister??

 

Where are you and what year xj do you have?

i would also recommend relocating the bubble as well. I attached mine next to the brake master cylinder and tied it into the sensor on the intake manifold. Its a cheap parts but those bumpers are sacrificial on the trail.

 

Plug that vacuum line tight until you can get a new canister. I have everything functioning without a vacuum ball on mine, but others may not be so lucky. Just shove a golf tee in the exposed end.

 

x2 plug the line at the T by the cruise servo if you have one. Your vents should work better until you can do a real fix. Don't wanna be sucking gunk up anyway.
