2002 Low side AC port

[Topcat]

AC is not working well and I'd like to try and charge myself but can't find the port. Does anyone know where this is and how difficult it is to accomplish?

AC/charge

You can do it its simple . its the line with the green cap. go to the local cheap parts store and buy the kit, it will have a Gage and the new Freon read the instructions. if you connect it right it will lock on to the port....just make sure you take your time and read the inst. good luck

Thanks for the quick reply and I'm glad its something that's easy.
Can you be a little more specific on where I might find that green cap?
I was under there an hour yesterday and didn't see it. Thanks!

It is on the drivers side
Either put the car on a lift (easiest)
or raise the left side Helps if you first turn the
wheels to the right so that you can remove the
plastic cowling underneath. From behind the
wheel look in and you will see the compressor
the fill (low side) is covered with a cap
remove the cap and you are good 2 go
