Hanging tube, help identifying?

I went to change the oil today and I saw a tube hanging under the hood. I have a random dangling tube I'd never seen, it's coming from a few others bolted to the firewall, behind the instrument panel. The only thing I'm aware of that doesn't work (and I still can't figure out if someone could help!) is the temp sensor on the dash. Any chance it's related? I'll post a pic. I circled it, sorry, I should've before.

Thanks!

If it's what think you're talking about it's your windshield washer hose.

Hose is from the windshield washer tank pump to the "1to2" hose fitting just above the end where are two hoses and a third broken off hose bib, might be inside that hose end, looks split too. My '77 has that washer fluid tank on the inner fender, the pump is in the bottom.

The top arrow is pointing to the washer pump and the bottom arrow is pointing the the loose hose that you are questioning.



You can get all the necessary parts here; Washer reservoir, pump and T #12, 14, 19

Perfect, thanks for the help. I'll order the parts! (I tried to post earlier and I guess it didn't go through?)

X2 window washer fluid line. The last pic RubiRanch posted shows it perfect. I bet if you look in the end of your line there is a piece of broken white plastic in it. From the T fitting attached to the cowl. Run a small sheet metal screw in there to grab the piece and pull it out.


In sace you are having ws wiper issues.
