Default Need Help in finding Answers For Jeep Cherokee 89 Limited

I have a jeep cherokee 89 with plastic vacuum hose system is there a way to replace with rubber or metal?

Ignore the battery, I have to clean the terminals and replace the battery.

I was also wondering how can i fix and check wiring for a Transmission Toggle switch?

Where can I get a switch like this one for fog, rear widow wiper and washer, and for rear defrost.

Also does anyone know how to replace, or ever seen one not broken?

The easiest and cheapest way is to obtain everything from the local jy,as far as your cooling system goes switch it over to a 91 or later system,it is easy and cost very little if you get the parts from the jy.
By the way your battery looks bad,need some work in that area,lol

The cooling system does not have vacuum hoses that are in contact with water.,the 91 and later system is alot more reliable than the exploder bottle version and is a very simple change over.

But can I replace the vacuum system with metal at least? Do the make piping that small? I hate that it is brittle. also is there a way to make the intake air breath better air by running from the front to the wiper crawl area?

Thanks
