As you stand in front of your Malibu, look to the left and you will see the accumulator, then behind that on the firewall, you will see the evaporator, on one of these two, you will see a BLUE colored cap on a line. unscrew the cap, and attach your charging can here! Some factory caps are black! The charge will only snap on to the low side.
