Trying to inspect my cruise control hoses and I found this plastic hose. It traces to below my left front tire. Anyone know what it is?

That looks like something someone just put there. I don't think it has a purpose. A/C drains are under the vehicle at the transmission tunnel.

Well it also appears to START up top under the hood and the poster couldn't be bothered to show where it actually does start underneath LOL. Maybe a diff breather?

I'll try to get under the car, but the wire(?) looks like it connects behind the front wheel. It thought someone might have a wiring schematic behind that tire. It was obviously cut or dislocated in the engine area and stuck in the holder.

Just be be clear, I highlighted the wire and circled the OEM factory zip tie.

If anyone could do me a favor and look under their left front tire, I’d really appreciate it.

To close this out. I brought my car to my mechanic do fix a hose leak. This hose to nowhere is the differential vent which attaches to the front driver wheel diff.
