Down under going over the rear end overhaul job and spotted this. Can't see anything obvious where this connects to. Anyone have an idea?

Nice. This is a handy item to have. Plugged my VIN in and have a wealth of schematic/parts info. Tried to define where this would be in the catagories and so far can't find it. Will keep looking. Thanks Plutoe have a great long weekend!

I don't know but have suggestions: be sure you're using VIN for a wagon as the tank is likely to be different than sedan...but likely that
the feature exists for the sedan tank. Try searching Ebay for matching tank to see if it includes in their description. Try forums to
see if anyone has a DIY tank replacement and has identified the connection during the re/install.

Hey Raymond thanks good suggestions but that isn't the gas tank. The gas tank is above my head, relative to where the picture is being taken. What you're looking at is the back seat well containing the battery and fuse box.

could you ID it by looking under the rear seat then, next to the battery ? Looks like it runs through that area

Oh hey thanks for the attempt. Totally understand, the wagon is about to go on jacks to rip out the back end and replace all new. Just waiting on a tool delivery before the tear out. Good luck with your springs/shocks.
