Hello Escape City,
Doing some maintenance on our 2005 Ford Escape Ltd, and found we had a pack rat enjoying the engine warmth. Wires I could fix, but I am running into one chewed up issue that baffles me. On the transmission dipstick pipe is a piece of hose hanging that is chewed through on both sides. There is just an upside down U-shaped piece hanging with one side a bit longer. I can see where the longer side is supposed to connect if I add the 10-12 inches from that side that disappeared, deep down on the engine on the firewall side. But I cannot locate where the other end is supposed to be connected. Plus, I have no idea what this hose is for, what it does, so no idea what type of replacement hose to get either, so any help and input is greatly appreciated!
