Headlight Tray Question

[thom4782]

I have an 01S. The tower on the back of the driver side headlight tray has three things connected to it. One is the wire socket held in by a yellow clip. Another is the breather tube for the litronics. I don't know the purpose of the third item. It's a black tube that appears to run back along the top of the wheel well. Anybody know what this third connection is? If so, does anyone know how to disconnect it. Thanks

Did the 2001 986 have headlight washers? Could be the fluid line. Maybe it's "pre-wired" (hosed) and yours does not really have the option, but the hoses are still set in by the factory.

My car does have the headlight washer option. I am able to follow the fluid line around the back left side of the tray and underneath to the fron nozzles.

Unfortunately, the line I am referring is different. It is black and about 1/4" in diameter. It seems to attach to the tray tower just to the right of where the breather hose attaches. And that is why I am so mystified. I don't know its purpose and how it is mounted. When I tried to pull it off, it would not budge. I looks like its clipped or screwed on, but I can't tell and don't want to break it by using too much force.

I was wrong about the washer tube/ After removing the fender lining a looking from behind, the black tube is part of the washer system and it clips to the headlight tray in a U shaped fitting.
