05 Tropical LX Vacuum Pump location.

Upon his return from Quartsite AZ my brother-in-law tells me none of the vents open/close on his has air.
I suggested he try & locate the vacuum pump. Problem is, he has no idea where it's located.

05 Tropical LX
Freightliner chasss with 350 Cat

Any body care to take a stab at this question?

Thanks all

    NO, this is a diesel. It will be a 12 VDC pump in one of the front compartments or under the dash.


    OK......
    That's why I would just call mfg.
