Adding AC refridgorant to 94 Explorer.

[Explorer94]

This problem has bugging me since the begining of summer. The person who used to do all that stuff for me has moved away... to make a long story short, I wanted to know how to do that myself. I know you need a hose or something and I already have that, I just need to know what to look for and how to do it. Thanks

All that you need is a can of refridgerant. You can get some at Autozone or other part supply stores. Anyway in the back left corner of the engine is a black cylandar with a bunch of metal tubes on it. On top or on the side of the cylander should be a small cap. It may have an "L" on it. That is what you connect the coupler from the can hose to. On the right side of the engine should be a random silver pipe sticking pretty much straight up. There is a small cap on that too.

To refill it: turn car on, turn A/C on "Max" and to the coldest setting. Run car for approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove both caps that I had talked about earlier. Connect coupler to the port where you removed the cap from the black cylandar. Open can and fill.


If you would like to know what can I am talking about go to: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...002308/c-10101

You don't need to buy it there, but, that is what I got and it works great.

Hope This Helps.
