Hello all

I have a 98 SE duratec with ATX. When the battery was changed recently, I noticed a small
diameter black rubber hose lying loose near the battery. I thought it might need to be
connected somewhere, but cannot find anything to connect to.

The manual does not detail this hose.

The hose connects to the transmission below the battery, on a black metal bolted on cover
to the transmission.

If you know what this hose is used for and any connection point, I would appreciate your advice.

P.S. While I was just a guest on these forums they have already helped me a lot in solving
problems with the Contour. Thanks!
