I found the hose to be just sitting there, one end attached and the other attached to nothing... I can't seem to cross-reference the hose in the Haynes manual or on the Ford CD... Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

When recently changing battery on my '98 there was a hose coming from atx to the top of the rear bolt for the battery hold down clamp. It ended and pointed down just past the plastic clamp holding it the bolt, so I presumed an air release or overflow from atx. 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 163,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 163,000km

Maybe it's the AC condensor or something... Here's another image, but it just looks like a mess of hoses... Last edited by Temujin; 08/30/02 04:02 AM.

Sorry, don't seem to be able to identify. BTW, condensor in front of rad and accumulator (long cylinder) to front and down from battery. 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 163,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 163,000km
