Title: vaccum hose
Post by: capitlj on July 03, 2006, 12:31:10 PM
So im toying with my electrical under the dash saturday and i come across a random hose looks like a vaccum hose under the dash right next to my gas pedal it runs up over the steering column toward the headlight switch and dissappears i cant see where it goes or where the other end is supposed to go its not cut so im sure it just came off could this be part of my cruise control? It just quit working one day on my way home from minot. Oh and btw all my heater and ac controls still work.

If you have the automatic parking brake release then the vacuum line is for that.

Under the hood on the vacuum tree is there a hose connected on the B/R port.

Have a sunroof?  just a shot in the dark, but it could be your drain tube, if you have one and its large enough.

Black rubber hose, or one of those oh-so-handy color-coded plastic lines?

I've always been told that the drain tubes run down inside the windshield pillars and through the fenders.

Yes the sunroof hoses do go down the windshield pillars on each side, these are bigger the a normal vacuum hose.
There are also a set down beside the rear window.

Unfortunately, if your car has had some body work done, they may not be in the right places.... Like mine. LOL  Just a shot in the dark anyways!
