Question Mystery Connection

Ooops!..while pulling out what I thought was my antennae wire for the radio from my inner fenderwell, I heard a hissing sound and out came a black and 2 white hoses. All 3 hoses are joined to a common "plug" which must have plugged into something in the passenger side inner fenderwell. It's too dark for me to see now but any guesses what I should be looking for in the morning?
The truck is a 98 F150 SCab 4X4.

Thanks

Gary

Vacuum lines. OOPS! You will need those. What you heard hissing was air escaping after you disconnected them.

Thanks hugepettyfan for the link, it gave me a good place to start. Unfortunately, my hoses went to another cluster, where you have to remove the inner wheel well. Bolted up in the top of the well is, I guess, a vacuum resevoir. If anyone has access to Ford part numbers, F85E-9E453-AA, was stamped on the plastic. Any ways, check engine light is gone, and it is working.
