Default Help me identify this part

There is a small L shaped flexible hose that comes out of the bottom of the AC heater blower motor. Can someone help me identify what this part is?

It is probably some sort of vacuum line for the air distribution box.

I think I know what you mean. It's a very soft rubber tube that connects to something else. It's only a few inches long, so it shouldn't be hard figuring out where the other end goes.

From what you described, I think that's just some kind of drain hose, nothing hooks up to it on the ones I've seen anyway.

I believe Chris hit it on the head, just a condensation hose that allows any moisture from the actual blower motor to be put into the HVAC wind-stream. I would definitely hook it back up, or if it's damage then replace it with some tubing. You may have to get 2 short lengths and a coupler to get it done though.

That is to feed the blower motor cooled air. It's not the drain.
