Where does the other end of this hose go?

Hello Everyone,

Glad to be a Ford Explorer enthusiasts.

I have a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport. I found a hose dangling from the rear end and found that one end connects to the transaxle but can not find where the other end connects to. This is a half inch rubber hose, no liquid involved, I beleive it is for air pressure but after removing the spare tire and poking around I could still not find where it goes. Any Idea?

Can you post a picture? Without seeing one my guess is that it's the breather tube for the diff, if that's the case than you can just hang it anywhere, preferably as high up as you can get it.

Differential breather, I guess. If so, just keep the loose end above the waterline.

Welcome to this forum! I agree that this is just the vent. Wire tie it up, and out of the way.

Thanks that's it.
