so guys... what do i do if this happens?


trying to relocate my horn and this happened

 

Find a hose a lil' bit bigger(or smaller) and rejoin them. (duh)

 

top hose line is cracked all the way up. forgot to mention.

why are these made of plastic, a thick rubber would make it less succeptable to breaking from a small budge

i dont even know what this thing does

 

Just go buy some new vacuum hose at the parts store. You're out maybe 5 bucks.

 

It actuates your cruise control, and makes it possible for you to switch between floor and defrost. Sounds like you've already thought up your solution! Go buy some rubber vacuum hose and replace it all

 

there's a 2-part plastic filler that you can buy at walmart. can't find it now, but get back to me later, i'll give you the exact name. when i dropped my bike, it broke off the coolant overflow canister's fitting where the rubber hose goes. the bike runs steady 200 so without it, you can't ride it even 3 minutes. to make it short, i fixed it with that filler. that was 3 years ago. still doing fine.

 

leave a few inches of the rigid hose at either end and run rubber vacuum hose between.

iv'e been replacing mine little by little... lot of rigid line on these things!

 

Isnt that the charcoal canister? And its part of your emissions system...?

Thats what I always thought and been told it was, anyways...

 

Nope, that is the vacuum canister. Part of the vacuum system.

 

hmm i ran my jeep without one of those and it did fine. it wasn't broken or anything it just got unplugged by the PO.

 

I was told it had something to do with emissions too, and that with that segment of the hose broken the yeep would have some yucky fumes coming out but i guess not. i can live without cruise control, but cant wthout defrost.

just gonna find some rubber hose replacement, thanks for your help guys. i know nothing concerning cars, and forums are my only resources for getting answers.

 

if you leave it disconnected all you'll have is defrost hahaha

 

ok someone needs to explain to me why my jeeps heater worked just fine even without that bottle hooked up

 

that tube can be clogged and your heater will work just fine until you put the motor under heavy straine like high rpm. lower the rpm and heater works again.

If it's not clogged then you have a magic jeep heater.

 

omg MY JEEP WAS MAGIC AND I SCRAPED IT?!? FRICK!!
