I figured this was kind of a noob question :p But I was pulling things off the car to get to my rear motor mount and I noticed a vacuum hose looking deal going into my cabin and I don't know where it plugs into or what its for. Heres pictures if anyone has any idea. It goes into the dash way up on the passenger side firewall.

That line connects to your washer nozzles on the hood, it provides them with the fluid from the reservoir that is in the back of the vehicle






P.s. Please look at redoing your power wire for your audio system, it is not recommended in any way to run it through the fender and down through the door jam. One place you can run it through is the steering boot, or where your shifter cables run through the fire wall, or you can drill a new whole and use a grommet so the wire does not rub off over time. But please do relocate if you can to prevent future headaches
 
Looks like your wiper fluid hose to me too. Also, another place you can run a wire through the firewall besides the shift boot is through the passenger side. If you take out the glove box and pull down the carpet a bit, you'll notice a rubber grommet with a wire harness- if you're really careful you can put a hole in that grommet and run things through that. Be careful though- you DO NOT want to damage that mess of wires. It's important stuff.
 
Although I was going to reroute my power wire anyways, what exactly is it that makes the wire going through that location so dangerous as to blow fuses and catch your car on fire? Isn't it virtually the same as running it thruogh the firewall and under your carpet other than it doesn't look as nice?

well my problem was every time the door was opened and shut it eventually worked it's way to on top of the hinge and it shredded a little wire. Bingo Bango Bongo...blown fuse:D
 
This should be easy to make sure its the windshield washer fluid line. Make sure you have washer fluid in, and pull the lever. Fluid should come out.
