Default vacuum hose help


I found this cut off hose located next to the wiper door limit switch. I can't seem to find this in the Assembly Manual. Cam someone tell me where this hose used to go? Thanks

I believe it goes nowhere, it is a vent for the HVAC vacuum system or wiper system.

I believe it's the vent hose off the wiper control switch. Vents to atmosphere.

ok thanks. I've had this vehicle for over a quarter of a century and for some unknown reason I never saw this hose until today. I appreciate the quick replies.

It is to vent Vacuum from the wiper door vacuum switch. When the passengers wiper arm presses down on that switch it stops the venting of vacuum and then allows the wiper door to close.So the door does not close early damaging the wiper arm.
