maybe you can? its mounted to the front bumper on the passenger side and has a hose that goes into the engine bay. the hose is broken by the battery and I'm not sure what its for or where it should go. here are some pictures...

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Yep, it's basically a reservoir for vacuum. I think it may have something to do with the cruise control as well, if so equipped!!

Repair the hose and you should notice your Cherokee "behaves" differently.
