Vacuum Line Dilemna

[flint54]

New to MJ, exploring under the hood, and find an "extra" vacuum line that

seems to be original build (buried deep into the large harness across firewall).

One end dangles under the washer reservoir, the other end dangles next

to the brake booster. 1992 eliminator, 4.0, 5sp, 4wd.

 

Thanks!

Any chance of getting a picture or two of this line?

Try this:

 

This image shows the LH end, and has a small connector inserted:

This images shows the RH end, which I lifted from below the

reservoir for the photo. The reservoir has two vacuum line

support notches, and this line occupies one of those.

That appears to be windshield washer hose. Does your washer system work??

[flint54]

Nope, not the washer hose, that system works fine.

I agree with brent. If you look at the washer fluid resevoir one of the hoses is the same as the one you asked about and the other is different. It looks like one was replaced and they just left the old one there.

+me too

That doesn't look like one of the MJ vac hoses. All of mine were thinner and more plastic than rubber.

Mystery solved. The "extra" line is configured into the harness, and is meant for an XJ with a rear washer. It runs through a boot on the firewall (on XJ only) just outboard of the brake booster, and continues along the LH sill all the way to the back.
