I need to recharge my air conditioner on my 95 SE, but am not sure where the connection is. Is there any information or diagrams available to show exactly where the connection is?

Please refer to the Haynes repair manual, page 3-13.

I don't have the manual. That is why I asked the question.

id be way more worried

about where my fluid went in the first place...
PS you can find the part on any car by looking at the lines that come from the condensor. I believe(not sure, car is not w/ me to check) that place on the max is on the passanger side... sorta by the shock tower.. Look for a blue cap.. unscrew it and that is where u add it

So I suppose if I told the location, then you would know what to do?? Believe me, if you want to work on your own car, spend $20 for the Haynes or Chiltons manual.

The AC recharge line is along the passenger side of the engine bay. The recharge plug is a blue cap along a metal tube which runs from to the AC condensor.

Working on your own AC is not recommended, since there are strict environmental regulations that must be adhered to when working with AC refridgerant.

Thanks. I was pretty sure that was the place. I wanted to make sure I did not get the High pressure valve. Turns out there is an "L" & "H" on the caps. I was just looking for some confirmation. I've already added it. Works great now.

I have had the problem for years. Paid a $100 to replace a hose last year to "fix it". Plus the $40-$50 to test & refill it every time. Codes require testing. I don't want to keep paying to "fix it". I got a kit for $28. I add a can of refrig annually for about $6-$8.

This works for me. Thanks again.
