if you have a 98+ it is right next to the rad

edit* anyways, you cant put it on the wrong port, it wolnt fit



look at my rad cap, you will see a little black "knob" that is the refill port

actually thats the high side, low side is on the canister, you fill the low side

so its the port that is actually "on" or "sticking out of" that silver cannister just above and to the left of the radiator?

thats where i thought it was... but wanted to be sure.

correct me if im wrong. ill be recharging it today after work... around 6pm EST.

Make sure you car is on and the A/C is set on high cool.

If your using the proper gauge set you connect the high pressure gauge to the high side fitting which is located in the smaller A/C line running to the radiator. The capped fitting is next to the radiator. You need to remove the cap to connect the line.

The low pressure gauge and refill line attached to the low pressure fitting which is located on the reservoir/accumulator. Again, remove the cap to connect.

if you can, do not refill on the high side. you might cause your high side valve to leak.
