Can anyone identify what these vacuum hoses go to?

Good question, Iknow they are not vacuum lines, I think they are vent hoses. I followed them one time and they seemed to lead to the washer resovour. several of our Vols have these two lines.

Makes sense, Thanks, you saved me probably Hours of troubling shooting what they were or where they went.

I just went through hell with this, one line goes directly to the top of the washer res, the other I think is supposed to be on one part of a three-way valve that ultimately leads to the rear washer nozzle. There's a big "I think" there as replacing my rear washer pump didn't fix my washer problem. I am hoping a new washer squirter will do it but am afraid I might have screwed up the line leading to the rear from a very stupid car lifting attempt a couple of years ago where I ended up bending the floor.

Are you sure your washer pump is really not working? The reason why I ask is because I thought the same when I got my XC 2 years ago. It just would not spray even after prolonged pumping. I thought what the heck and put it on the "to do" list for later.
Every now and then I tried it again, and lo and behold, one day it finally started spraying. I think the lines must have been totally empty and it just took a long time for them to fill up. Just a theory though.

Well, I decided to Check my Rear washer, sure'nuff, it don't squirt. I looked again, the line on the left disappears somewhere, I guess to the top of the washer box? The other line goes to a Tee. I just can't figure out where the one on the Tee should go.
