Default What is this?

While cleaning up some ground connections that last weeks rain help make worse, i.e., the passenger headlight would not go up & I had only 1 fog light & 3 headlights, all very, very dim, like dimmer than a parking light dim & I could not see the road on my way home Thursday night, I found the "can" circled in green & the hard line next to the blue marking Friday morning when removed my passenger headlight assy.

I'm guessing it's a vacuum can of some sort but for what I do not know.
The hard line is cracked where the blue line starts & the line is obviously not attached to the "can".

I do not know how long it's been broken or what it adversely affects being broken, if anything.

So anyone have a clue as to what it is?

I haven't tried to do any type of repair as of yet.

Try plugging the line and see if the heater controls still work.

Funny you mention that, they do work, but I have noticed that the airflow does change to different areas when accelerating or climbing inclines.
