Where is the low pressure side to recharge ac in a 1998 Chevy lumina?

On a 1998 Chevy Lumina, the low-pressure AC recharge port is typically located on the drier/accumulator. This is usually a smaller diameter fitting than the high-pressure port. It's crucial to be certain you are on the low-pressure side as connecting to the high-pressure side can be very dangerous.

Look for:

* A smaller fitting: The low-pressure port is usually smaller than the high-pressure port.

* A service port cap: This cap is usually blue (though not always). The high-pressure port cap is usually red. *However, rely on the size of the fitting more than the color.*

* Location near the drier/accumulator: The drier/accumulator is usually located near the firewall on the passenger side of the engine compartment.

Caution: If you are not experienced with automotive AC systems, it is highly recommended that you take your vehicle to a qualified technician for AC recharge. Improper handling of refrigerants can be dangerous.
