Question New Yorker Air Issues

My other car is an 88 Chrysler New Yorker. The air conditioner was working great until earlier this year. On my way to work one morning, I made a left turn, I heard a deep thud, and the air turned to default setting. The air was only floor/windshield.

So, being a crazy woman I am, I slammed on the brakes. Once the car came to a complete stop, I shut the air off, then on. The air came through the panel again.

I pulled thermostat box forward, and noticed the wiring were in place. So, what's next before the mechanic shop? If I can, I'd like to find it myself. Because the air reacted to the motion of the car, I'm wondering if there's a loose vacuum wire somewhere. The next step to look would be behind the glove box, where the motor is.

What do you think? Something simple?

Dealership said would run couple hundred dollars to reroute new wire. It would also take a few days for them to keep the car.

Then came an idea. My truck has a locking gas cap, with a diamond plated lid. Couldn't I buy an after market lid for my car?
