1999 Jeep Cherokee A/C vent issue!
I have gone through all of the vacuum lines visible and cannot find the problem. The a/c air is being directed to the defroster vents and not through the dash vents UGGHH! It was 96 degrees today! The problem started when I installed the new fan motor a few days ago. The (4) fan speeds work great, just being directed to the front windshield. I have a very cold windshield! Any additional thoughts on correcting this annoying problem before I have to break down and take it to the DEALER? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Did you trace the vacuum behind the engine? I believe that's where the line to the HVAC system goes in.
And by "gone through" did you spray them with water or carb cleaner for leaks? Or just do a visual test?

Installed some EBC Slotted and blind drilled rotors with their green stuff pads. There's nothing bad I can say about this upgrade, amazing stopping power!!! Matched with stainless brake lines and rear disc swap I'm very confident in my braking system.

Ok, a 3/4 bolt or smaller. Typically 5/8ths bolts are used in steering systemsbecause the heim will need some form of a safety washer or misalginment spacers on the drag link, but regardless I wouldn't drill the stock knuckle out to 3/4.

Finished replacing all the rubber fuel lines and evap lines on the YJ. Got stranded Saturday morning on the way home from work when one burst, so I replaced them all. Now I'm gonna fill the tank and go mudding with a lady
