Vacuum Fittings

Last weekend, my cruise stopped working after I had used it a few times. It isn't really critical as I only get on the highway if I am going to an event a ways away. But the issue was a hose pulling out of the cruise module. Is there a recommended method to fix this?

Thank you for any help...

The metal tube is probably just a press fit into the hole. I would take the vacuum hose off and see how tightly the metal tube fits into the hole. If it's not very tight, then use something to secure it such as Loc-Tite.

Correct. These are just press fit into the die cast housing. Just press them back in. A tap with a small hammer and block of wood is all it takes. Don't overthink this.
