Noticed that this was unplugged today, but couldn't figure out where it connects. It passes through the passenger strut area next to a condenser pipe. Battery vent maybe?

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.

POST 2Original post
Yes, its the battery vent.
POST 3Original post
If the battery doesn't require a vent tube, then simply tie wrap it back out of the way.
POST 4Original post
There should be a small hole on the end of the battery near the top.
POST 5Original post
Some of the newer batteries have the vent hole in the middle back area where the decal of the car is. Your tube has the elbow in it indicating it was connected there at one time. If the opening is on the side it would not have the elbow.
