I was tending to my dead battery and noticed this clear tube in the battery compartment is not plugged in to anything. I do believe it should be. Where does it go and what is it? Thank you,

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It looks like a battery vent tube. There should be a nipple on the top of your battery where it plugs in. Or if you have a sealed battery, It may be from an old battery....

Battery vent tube...the fact that it isn't connected may account for the corrosion on the tray. Even the more recent AGM batteries (Interstate, Bosch, etc.) have vent tube outlets on both sides of the battery - look near the terminal.
