There's a vacuum line on your intake manifold that runs across/behind your engine to the area near the passenger side firewall. At the passenger side firewall there are 2 plastic hoses going through a rubber grommet into the cabin. The vacuum ball should be behind the passenger side bumper and have vacuum lines running from there, next to the battery, along the passenger side inner fender up near the firewall that I've already described. If you have a vacuum can, it needs to be in that area. Without the can, your heat/AC will blow out the defroster vents on acceleration, cruise control won't work.

Yep. Get one and locate it up near the firewall instead of in the back of the bumper.

If you originally had cruise control, that's what the other line was for.

Yea I had crusie control but the wires were cut before I got it. In the jink yard the other day I was pullin the evap ball off a 91, (same part,) &it had the two lines,together but the one that the L shaped 90 degree lookin one was hooked into this lil module, but I dnt think my jeep had that assembly. Theres only one port for that cannister. And its the vac line. The other pic I posted few days ago of another cannister alos,for cruise control? If mines,disabled there really no point in trying to hook it up?? Hope,this makes,sense lol
