AC recharge valve

I have a 2003 F150 extended cab 2WD with a 4.2L engine. Can anyone tell me where to find the low side ac recharge valve? The accumulator is located between the wiper fluid reservoir and the headlight on the passenger side. There's a tube coming from the top of the can with a valve. There's another valve to the right of this at the end of a black tube coming off a smaller diameter hose. This valve is slightly larger than the first. Other sites indicate the low side valve is near the fire wall but there's nothing there (they don't say it's specifically for an 03 F150). Thanks.

Your recharge kit is designed to fit only the low pressure side fitting of the system.
This fitting should be at some point on the line between the Accumulator Can and the compressor.
Good luck.
