Default only the defrosters work

when I turn on my blower, the air only comes from the defrosters. If I turn on the AC, its the same thing , only air from the defrosters. any body have a clue as to what this is?

Especially the one running to your 'jeep egg'. The one behind the front bumper on the passenger side. Start at the egg and work backward until you find the crack/broken hose.

definitaly sounds like a vacuum leak, i had the same problem. Mine was snapped right by the battery because the P.O. must have set the battery on it you might even have a vacuum diagram under the hood, i did and i started at the intake and followed the one for the air until i found the break.
