Did you remove the Cowl in front of the windshield to free up some space and gain access back there?

No. It doesn't look possible. I looked at the grilles etc., but they only look to go into the vents.
I did think about trying to remove the large plastic piece underneath the cowl. It looks like it has only 4 screws or small bolts holding it up. Is that the piece you mean? |

Yeah but those aren't the mounting points. It is only 2 14mm bolts IIRC. One removes the battery pos jump and the other is by the windshield washer fluid res. remove the rubber weather stripping and cabin filter. Remove the 2 side peices by pulling up and the middle assembly slides out.

Well thanks guys. That gave me limited access, but I managed to change the hoses. Can't get the valve out, but I think that it is the culprit because vacuum works when I bypass it but no vacuum when using it.
Certainly an unbelievable awkward place to put this little valve if you ask me. If I could get it out I could test it but try as I might it won't budge. Off to the stealer tomorrow to get a new one and then just hang it back there if it works. |

More air valve questions. Are there more fuses for the system than the 10 amp and 50 amp fuse in the glove box?
I put in a new electric valve which I determined was the culprit, but now nothing comes on on cold start up. Wondering if I blew a fuse somewhere. Thanks |

OK last post. Took it for a short 10 minute drive, and waited 4 hours after shut down. This time everything worked.
