Yesterday I was changing the brake pads on the front and discovered the remnants of my alternator cooling hose..at least I think that's what it is..

Attached to the back of the plastic shroud that covers the front wheel well..I knew my "tube" was missing because nothing is connected to the alternator "coolant air" plastic pipe.

Anyway, i also noticed that there is a sensor attached to the tube, looks like it is measuring air temp or air flow? I can't find any reference to it in the manual or the schematic so far...anyone know what that sensor is?

I'm also trying to figure out exactly how that tube arrangement helps cool the alternator..seems hard to believe that a pipe with an inlet (or outlet) buried in the fender well could provide much air flow??
