I would like to know if the Service Port Cap-Red High Side is one size fits all. I went to midas almost 2 months ago to get my ac fixed, and they said that there was a problem with my Service Port Cap. They said that they did not have the right size cap, and they needed to place an order for it. Well I do not have my car part yet and I keep getting the run around when I call them. I stopped by a car auto parts store last week and they had one of those in stock, but the cashier told me it was one size fits all.
So who is right, midas or the cashier. If midas is right, can someone please tell me what is the model number of the cap that I need to get. I have a 2000 dodge stratus se.

The caps are not one size fits all. There are 3 different sizes of high side caps. They each have a 17mm outer size, but the inside thread size varies.
Either go right to Chrysler and buy one or buy all 3 and return the wrong ones. They're only about $1 each.

I don't know what the color has to do with it. The refrigerant service ports are quick disconnects and are two sizes. You can't put the wrong one on. Don't let Midas mess with your a/c, they do brakes and exhaust and rip you every chance they get
