I'm trying to add R134a to my car but I'm having a lot of trouble locating my low pressure port. I would look in my owners manual for a diagram but I'm not sure where it is.

It is easy to find follow the large tube from the firewall that goes to the rear of the compressor it will be on that line. Here is a video and guide that should be able to help.

Where is the 'low" side of a 2001 Ford Taurus A/C unit located? We need to add freon but not sure where the "low side" is located.

Look on the passenger side for the aluminum accumulator, the service port is on it, The high side is a smaller port, so the hose end won't fit it anyway, charge with the can in the upright position only. This way it dispenses gas and will not damage the compressor.

I cannot find the recharge port for the air conditioning. Could you please advise where is the refill port located for the air conditioner recharge? I find a large port standing near the windshield washer reservoir but it is too large. Where is the recharge port?

Sometimes the Low-Side port can be hard to locate.The low side are the larger of the two lines for the A/C system. Please see the attached diagrams and video to help you locate the service port. I have also attached a guide to help you charge the A/C once you locate the correct service port.

I found a fitting on the firewall that is non metallic and has a green cap with a tag that reads "EVAP SERVICE PORT 1PSI REGULATED PRESSRE ONLY" Is that the low pressure port where I would charge the system?
