lines cut under the battery, can anyone ID them?

Post by krush »

(This is for my 1993 850 GLT)

I happened to notice some lines hanging under the front end of my car today, appearing to have been cut. I want to reconnect them, but I need to know what goes to what.

(3underhood.jpg), there's three lines under the hood that appear to have been cut, two black lines I'm hoping are oil lines to something, and one yellowish line.

Under the car (under_battery.jpg), directly under the battery there appears to be two lines connected to... something (I have no idea what it is...), but they've been cut as well. I'm hoping these two connect to the two black lines I found under the hood.

Now... I also (largecut.jpg) happened to notice a somewhat larger black hose running under the radiator, and it's also cut.

can anyone tell me where these things go?

I have three vacuum lines under the battery that are for the cruise control system on my 97 855 GLT. Does your car have cruise control?
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94

yep, I have cruise... I don't think I've ever used it though.

The one in the first image is the EVAP line from the fuel tank to the canister, one line should run under the battary tray and into the car for the cruise. The other two are for the EGR regulator soleniod. If I remember correctly the Yellow line should connect to the regulator solenoid port closest to the electrical connector and go to the EGR. The other port whoud go to manifold vacuum. I'm thinking the EGR has been removed. I would however repair the evap line if nothing else.
