WE have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with similar problems:1) the AC works but it does not blow air where the knob is selected (i.e. if vent mode is selected, no air comes through, but the AC works) 2) The cruise control does not work. In reading your messages, you indicated you might have some more detail troubleshooting. Please advise. Do you want me to write directly to your email address?

I'm sorry. What I posted on page one was pretty much all I have. I think what I meant was for one of the guys in this forum was he/she could call me and I would walk them through the process I used to trouble shoot my system. To help point out or explain what they are looking at. There is another possibility with the Cruise Control. It is some switch or relay that you have to remove the Steering Wheel to get to it. I am not a Jeep mechanic I just do what I can with what I have.

Hope this helps, I had the exact same problem with my 2001 Grand Cherokee, ((fan position switch won't work (go from floor to dash to windshield, etc.)), and the cruise control won't engage. I'm told both are due to a vacuum line problem, ). I fixed mine by replacing 1/4" hose located directly under battery mounting pan. Takes a little work but might be worth it.
 
First remove battery. Then remove pan, you'll need a deep socket 10mm with extentions to get at one mounting nut. Remove two nuts holding cable to fuse/relay box attached to pan. Move pan out of way. The hose that's causing all the problems is about 6" long going to servo. Replaced hose ($.77) and it took care of both problems. Total job took about 1 hour. From what I have been reading this is the hose that's causing everyone problems.

Thanks for the excellent information. The cruise control on my 2000 Grand Cherokee would not engage. I followed your instructions and found the broken vacuume line below the battery pan. I replaced the thin plastic and brittle broken line with about 1 foot of 1/4" fuel line. I did have to purchase a deep socket 10mm socket and a 10" extension. Wow - I have cruise control again!!!!

Thanks for the step by step on what to look for and how to fix it. I just bought my first Jeep Cherokee Sport ever! From the nicest couple, who had the same problems. They got the actual unit replaced, but this did not help the problem. Now, I can see what I might be, the hose. My question is can a person with no mechanical experience do this? I would like to try but don't want to cause further problems. Thanks in advance
