What is this thing?

[marin8703]

Hey can someone tell me what this is and what it does. I think someone had trouble with this before and was asking but cant find the thread now.

The thing is the big rectangular plastic thing with the hoses going into it. The problem I am having is that the round thing with the hose going to it is held by 2 metal brackets, however one of mine has somehow fallen of and now it just bounces around in there.

Here are some pics to show what im talking about:

thi sis the whole thing:



here is the whole thing unscrewed and pulled out for better view:



this is the part that has lost the attaching bracket and is loose, this part sits to the left of the entire thing, and i think its the only part that has electrical wiring comming to it:



so can anyone help with what this is, and possibly where i can find that metal bracket for it. I dont have the time or patience to go to dealer for now. Thanks for any help!
