Default 97 F150 Blower Problems

During my recent endeavor to splice into my speaker wires and add some new speakers in my truck,I mistook a vacum line wire under my dash for a ground wire.I traced it back and it leads to the blower selector switch. It is not the electrical wire leading to it,it is a set of small hollow rubber tubes. I have searched for everything I can think of and can not find one anywhere online.If anyone knows what these are called and where i can get a replacement please tell me.Just a small tidbit of info is that it only blows cold air out of the defroster and warm air through the panel vents.It worked perfect before I cut these lines. Thanks in advance!!

You could just get a small rubber hose, like the ones you have under the hood (you can get them at any auto parts store), and cut a couple inches off and slip it over the vacuum line where you cut it. Get a hose small enough to where it fits tightly over the vacuum line so it won't leak air. It'll kind of work like a pipe coupling. Good luck!
