Recharing the Air Conditioning

yo guys...

I picked up a can of air conditioner recharger and i'm a little unsure exactly of where to hook it up. Most of the things i've read have stressed that you need to do it exactly right or you'll mess a lot of things up.

Has anyone done this recently or know of a good tutorial that i can read?

Thanks guys

hook it up to the low side. It's on the passenger side, and has a blue top on it w/ a big L on the cap. Just connect it there

I hope you bought a hose as well. Otherwise it's a trip back to the store.

Get one with a gauge (25-45 psi is normal)otherwise you have no idea whether have to add or not (could be something else is wrong). You cannot connect to the wrong connector because it won't fit. (Its jime proof)

For less than $30 you can get a container plus a gauge and connector that you can use on any freon container. The replacement ones are about $5.
