Wire mod done... what is this for???

Done the wire mod (thanks to the write ups) and I broke the two way check valve.... even when I got warned in the write up

Going to oriellys tomorrow to get the dorman 47150 replacement and was wondering.... What is that thing for???? Reason asking, when I was taking off the other lines, the line to the firewall came loose (grommet pulled out) but it still feels tight. If I in fact pulled the line from wherever it goes in the cab, where do I look for this???

Thanks Again

If you pulled the line you'll be able to turn your ac on but it will only blow at your feet, no matter what setting you choose you won't be able to get the air to come out the dash vents.
