Heater/AC blower Hose name?

[jblc]

A rat chewed through that short 90-degree elbow hose that connects the heater/AC blower motor to the heater's radiator.

What is that hose called? I tried to get one at an auto parts store but they had no idea how to find the name...

I'm in a '97 3.0L.

Welcome to TRS


Its the blower motor vent hose

Probably a dealer or wrecking yard item

The blower's electric motor is sealed except for that hose opening, it allows cooler air to circulate in the electric motor part so it doesn't get too hot inside the case.
Uses cab air so it doesn't get the "dirty" and often warmer air in the engine bay
