Lurkette and HeyAgain have good ideas. In addition, simply keep him informed of everything you're doing. When all you can get out of him is a vague idea, go ahead and make an action plan based, to the best of your ability, on what you think he wants, with all caveats and danger points pointed out. Give him/ Email him the plan and tell him you're proceeding in this way unless you hear from him otherwise. Then go ahead, don't wait for him.
He'll either blow it off and not answer you, or give you an answer right away. If he blows you off and later comes around to bitch, you're covered because you told him your plans. If he comes back right away and tells you you're wrong -- well, at least you forced him to give you clarity.
