If the compressor kicks on then it may not need gas, you may have another problem, caution dont blow up can or system, if the can is connected to low side and the compressor is running then it should take the freon.

Over filling R134 will cause low a/c performance.

first of all you failed to tell the full story!
how did you get to this point.?
New parts added.?
it just died one day.?
or you measured the pressure and is zero?
or the Hi/low switch tripped? (hi/low r134a switch)
new compressor.?
what?
if not touched before (event), tell the symptoms first.
then ask what to do.

Check the Schrader valve the fill hose is connected to and be sure it is not stuck closed. You can do that by removing the fill hose and pushing down on the valve. It works the same as valve stem in a tire does. If the sys. has Freon it should come out of the valve when you push on it. Make sure you actuator motor inside is letting the door switch over to let the cool air come through the vents.

Looking to recharge the a/c myself on a 2003 jeep grand cherokee laredo and I need to see a diagram of where to hook it up corectly.

OK, the low pressure side has the thicker tubing on it, and just follow it from the compressor until you see a quick connect for the hose that you use to fill it with r134a, one can at a time.

'95 Jeep Grand Cherokee - air conditioner broke

If the Orifice is clogged, you would buy a new line, but I wouldn't do that so soon.

If it leaks r134a, I would try charging it on the low side with this stuff called, Arctic Freeze available at Walmart and autozone, and places like that.

I had good luck with it on a system that holds freon marginally. It's got a sealant in it, and a special additive to the r134a that makes it cool 50% faster, and colder than just regular r134a.

You can get a large can of it with a gauge for about $35 or so.

Orifice tubes do get clogged, but if they do, then the compressor shuts off and goes on and off due to the higher than normal pressure generated in the system's refrigerant circuit.

Try the stuff, and you might be pleasantly surprised. It's cheaper than the typical professional a/c service call to do this, and it is actually very effective in my experience (as long as it doesn't leak out too fast).

Good luck on the a/c.

I want to recharge my air conditioning in a 1991 cadillac deville

Here's what you do.

Get an R134a recharge kit or R134a recharge hose (with an optional gauge) that has the adapters to put on to the low side port located near the firewall on the passenger side.

If the system is down already, the computer may have disabled the compressor.

To reenable the compressor, disconnect the battery for a few minutes and reconnect.

Charge the system with about 2 or 3 11 oz. or so cans of R134a while the car is running and the temperature is set to the lowest (say 60 deg. F).

If your recharge hose has a gauge on it, the right pressure should be in the green area ranging from 25 psi to 45 psi on the low side when the compressor is running.

AC starts blowing cool air then start getting hotter and finally have to turn off, it has been doing it for years. 2003 Grand Cherokee laredo

You either need to add freon or there is a restriction somewhere within the A/C system. Freon recharge is fairly simple and relatively cheap. Simply buy the kit at a parts store (buy one with a gauge so you know when it is full. Make sure there aren't any clogs anywhere under the hood that could cause an airflow problem.
