Vacuum hose troubles

Hi everyone,
Among other things wrong with my 2001 X5 3.0, I found the vents are the only position that works. I got looking at the vacuum hose I found it not to be working. See attached picture. Does anyone know where it is suppose to plug in to?

I also see a hard plastic line running up from the transmission and has a J on the end. I’m guessing this is the transmission vent? Thank you in advance for the help.

I think that vacuum hose comes from the interior heat sensor found on versions with manual AC (IHKR) and should be connected to the rear end of intake plenum.



That other "J-hose" is front differential vent hose and should be like that.

The heat and cool controls work ok. It's the floor/defrost/vent controls that are not working. That picture looks newer than my vehicle. I think I may have found the port for the line, but it is bigger than the hose. So I may need to find an adapter.

This is just the vent for the differential. It is NOT connected to any vacuum line.
