My 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a small black hose coming out of the coolant resevoir - the hose is about 12 inches long and goes nowhere. My initial thought is that it is an overflow hose.
I never noticed it before, but I did have the oil changed recently & am wondering if this hose is supposed to go somewhere but maybe it was accidentally disconnected by one of the Jiffy Lubers.
There is a "pin" coming from the engine block near the hose that looks like it could be the perfect "plug" for this hose, but that doesn't make too much sense to me - why have a hose if it goes noewhere?
