99 Expedition - Where is the low pressure connector?

[kennyiii_65]

Hi-

I am looking to recharge my 99 Expys AC, but my Haynes book shows the low pressure connector near the tranny dipstick and I don't see one.

Maybe it got moved after 97?

Thanks,
Kenny

Nevermind... I found it... had to move a bunch of hoses out of the way and climb in the engine compartment... I guess I shoulda a little better!

Before you recharge it, peel the foam off of the accumulator (the metal can that has the low side connection). If you see rust, you will have to replace it. They rust through and leak the refrigerant out quickly.
You really should find where your leak is and fix it regardless. Leaks only get worse.
