Default Mysterious Black Ball
Help, found a black ball (about the size of a cantaloupe) with a dangling vacuum hose that is split at the end.Its location is on the drivers side under the hood between headlight and wheel...mounted right beside the marker lamp housing....what is it and what does the other end of the vacuum hose connect to? :eek:
