Recirc blue line lost in console
I think I should go buy a lottery ticket tonight.
While wrestling to get the recirculation flap back into position my blue line popped off the new vacuum actuator and I cannot find it. It shot back into the console? What are the odds?
I took off both console sides and it is gone. Ruling out that it evaporated into thin air, how is that blue line routed? I had not planned on pulling the center console, but it looks like I am going to have to. Argh.

The blue line goes to the fresh air door , this is in the bottom of the blower box,.
Where exactly is the vacuum pod that the line came off or please post a picture

i would take the lottery reference as "what are the odds" that something like that could happen. slim, thus he should buy a lottery ticket.

Mrmerlin - rubber blue line that connects to the vacuum pod at the recirc door. It comes from the back of the console. I'd snap a picture of it if it were there, but then I wouldn't have a need to to find out where it is routed. ;-) Of course if somebody else has a picture of where it exits the passenger footwell on its way to the vacuum manifold in the back of the console that would be nice.
In the meantime I will begin to disassemble my console in search of it.
