How do I recharge the a/c in a 1997 lincoln town car?

Question

I'm currently stuck without a/c in my car, and all I really need to know, is where do I put the nozzle for the recharge kit. I can only find one tube, where it looks like the nozzle will fit, but there's no writing discerning if thats the correct tube or not. It's the tube directly to the right of the fusebox, which is located behind the battery, over on the passenger side of the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I would suggest you are wasting your time. You may have a leak. If you can find the a/c compressor there are two lines attached to it. The larger of these is the low side of the system. Follow this line a short distance and you will come to a quick connect fitting. It will probably have a protective cover of some sort over it. This fitting is where you connect your fitting to charge the system. CAUTION, be sure the engine is idling and the a/c is on when you connect. The system can have well over 100 psi if engine and a/c are not on. CAUTION beware of the fan and belts. There should be instructions with the charge kit, READ THEM
