the connection you want in in front of the battery and the high side has a different connection so you can't connect to it
set the kit up and open the valve to let new R134A in and you will notice a difference right away. let it go for a minute then check the pressure with the guage and when it stays where it is suppose to stay you are all set
again just follow the package instructions and you should be fine
Anyone have a pic of the connnection? Is it that thing that sticks up pretty high?

I dunno, recharging my A/C myself didnt work, using a Refridgarant management system, it pulled everything out of my air conditionair system, held a vacuum for awhile to pressure check it, and pull old stuff out and have it filtered. then recharged though the high side I believe the machine did it. Now my A/C Runs great!!! I actually used it a few times

Anyway, yesterday I checked the system, and this is what I found. With the engine running and A/C on, pressure would rise from 25 to 45 psi and then drop back to 25psi. When it would go up to 45, I would hear a clicking sound from what I'm guessing is the compressor, and then the guage would drop back to 25. I tried adding some refridgerant, but it didn't help. It's still blowing just hot air.
Ideas...?
This is exactly what's happening with mine... Last year I had my mechanic recharge it & try to find the leak for $80. I'd like to avoid paying that much again. I might try and recharge it again myself today, but I don't want to waste another $15 on refridgerant only for it to not work...

yeah not having the A/C could suck depending on where you live. My cousin is moving back to PA from texas, and he had a sweatshirt and jeans on, while I was wearing a tshirt and shorts lol it was only 50 degrees out. As for fixing your A/C I dunno. All I know is, in PA you need to be certified to buy the A/C recharger. I guess if you screw it up you might be blow into chunks. (there's a vote of confidence for you  )
