Where do I recharge the a/c

[Drewfra]

I have looked under both hoods, under the car, and on top of the car lol. I can not find out where to recharge the a/c. It is a 2008 fourtwo. Can anybody help me? I need to know where the low pressure nipple is.

Thank You

Crank the wheels to the right and look in the passenger wheel well. Should see a cut out i the plastic and see the A/C Connectors.

Thank You.

Thanks SmartJoe and Drew! The question had never occurred to me. At four Summers and 40 Months of use, it's just a matter of time til I'd be asking the same question.

How do you know it needs to be recharged?

Looks like you read my mind, it took a few days though. Thought the same thing when the question was asked.

Original post last night was past my bedtime.

When I read that, the first thing that popped in my head was: If one does not know where the service ports are located, how does one know the refrigerant is low?

That's what popped into my head. Still good for people that have the gauges and the know how to use them to know where they are.

Have gauges. Blowing hot air and compressor not coming on would be my guess.

Worked on a car the other day (not a smart). It blew hot air and the compressor didn't come on. Turned out to be a corroded connection. Worked on another right after that - hot air and no compressor, this time it was a relay. The list goes on for reasons why an A/C would not be working.

I would suggest to the OP if it is blowing hot air to look at other things (like the pesky little connector under the dash that breaks so easy) and be careful not to overfill if insisting on blindly adding freon.
