HVAC Controller

Brad,
There is a round vaccuum distributor on the AC controller that can leak. It 
is white, semi-circular and attached to the bracket that directs airflow. I 
tested mine with a mityvac and found it would not hold vaccuum on some 
ports. I took it apart and lubricated it with petroleum jelly which fixed 
it. To replace it, I think you have to buy the whole controller mechanism.
