mystery hose unplugged for cruise control

was taking pics of my car today wondering about why theres an unhooked vacume hose. i stuck the camera under the car a few times and it piced up another thing that i didnt see before.

first off, wtf is this hose? i cant find any place where it could plug in.

and wtf is this cable/hose behind my fender?



where does this vacume hose go?

that unplugged thing is a headlight wire





and what the hell is this?

Does your cruise work?

Look for a possible connector on your engines manifold somewhere. It may also be for the ball, but why the ball's not there is beyond me.

i bumped into a pole a year ago that pushed the bumper on that side back about 6" car looked fine from the outside because the bumper covered all the damage. got almost all the parts to repair/replace for a repaint except for this magic ball thing..... i guess the ball flew off when i hit the pole.

Sometimes they're inside the fender and the hose slips thru a small hole in the inner fender to the "plastic ball", vacuum resivoir. I'd have to go look at mine to tell you exactly where it's at, but it's round and about 5" across and black plastic.

ya know that first link you have the pic of. Well the plastic ball sits directly underneath that sheet of metal you have to come at it from underneath the car, forget exactly how it mounts but thats where it is.
