Help in Identifying vacuum hoses
When I installed my new fan motor I knocked off a couple of,hoses from a valve or manifold that is located just above the right side egg crate. When you look at the valve the hose that came off is the one one the left or toward the back of the car and the middle one. I think I got them right but not sure. They are color coded so if some one could give me the correct routing I would appreciate it.

Hi SWO,
What you're seeing is the vacuum relay for the wiper door.
There should be 4 hoses on it.
A small white striped hose on the small metal nipple.
Then 3 large hoses on 3 large plastic nipples continuing down from the small nipple:
first, a red striped hose…. closes the wiper door
then, a yellow striped hose… supplies vacuum to the relay
finally at the bottom, a green striped hose… opens the wiper door.
There you go!
Regards,
Alan
