The low pressure side to the ac will be the Schrader valve that is the smallest size. If you are recharging it yourself try to fit you valve on both valve and you will see what I am talking about.

The low pressure port is on the compressor on the bottom side. It should have a black cap on it.

SOURCE: Searching for low-side port to recharge AC on 1997

hello dsouris: Locate the A/C accumulator on the left inner fender well. This will be a round aluminum cylinder with two lines coming out of it. Follow the large line that runs back to the firewall. You should see a shadder valve in this line. This will be the suction line or low side line. This will be the line used to charge the A/C system. If you need further help please just ask. If this information please rate the information as it helps.Thank You for using FixYa. Roger

SOURCE: Change headlight on 2008 Chevy Malibu

Hi there,

Well first you can please follow the below steps -
1. Make sure the ignition key is in the off position and the headlight switch is off. Release the hood latch.
2. Open the hood and locate the top of the headlight assembly where you intend to change the headlight. If a plastic shroud is present, locate the center bolt and remove it with a ratchet and a socket. Lift the shroud out of the way to access the headlight assembly retaining brackets. Some later models may feature a snap-release shroud requiring no tools to remove.
3. Locate the brackets on the top rear of each side of the headlight assembly. Lift them all the way up to align the hole on the bottom of each bracket to the retaining tabs on the assembly.
4. Pull the assembly forward away from the Malibu, but be careful not to scratch the bumper. There are three guide pins that require unseating. The guide pins are what aim the headlights and it may take some wiggling to get the pins from their seats.
5. Support the assembly with one hand and then reach behind the unit with the other. The low beam bulb is on the outside, the high beam bulb is on the inside. You can also replace the parking light if desired. Locate the wire harness connection. Un-clip the wire harness from the back of the bulb socket. Remove the bulb by turning it counterclockwise 1/3 of a turn to align the release tabs of the ring and the assembly. Wiggle the bulb out of the assembly.
6. Place the latex gloves on your hands before opening the package of the replacement bulb. Oil in our skin can damage the glass bulbs of halogen headlights.
7. Carefully insert the new bulb into the ring and then align the tabs of the ring to the tabs of the headlight assembly. Push inward and then twist clockwise 1/3 of a turn to lock the bulb in place. Reattach the wire harness. Rest the headlight assembly inside its cavity and test the operation of the headlight before securing the headlight assembly in place. Be sure to turn the lights and ignition back off.
8. Align the three guide pins to their seats and push the assembly back into them gently until they snap into place. Replace the retaining brackets by pushing them downward to lock into place. Replace shroud, if applicable. Remove the tools and old bulb and close the hood. Post comments for further help or information......

Good Luck!!

Where is the AC orphan tube located in a 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ V6

However, I can provide some general information about the air conditioning (AC) system in a 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ V6.
In most modern vehicles, the AC system consists of several components, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and various refrigerant lines and hoses. There is no specific component called the "AC orphan tube" in standard automotive terminology.
If you're experiencing an issue with your AC system and suspect a problem with a particular tube or hose, I would recommend consulting the owner's manual for your 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ, which may have information on the AC system components and their locations. Additionally, if you're not familiar with automotive repairs, it's advisable to consult a qualified mechanic or technician who can diagnose and address any AC-related problems in your vehicle. They will have the necessary tools and knowledge to locate and repair any issues with your AC system.

Where is the cap to recharge the ac for my 2008 chevy Malibu LTZ 6 cylinder

First pop the engine cover off. You are looking for a small cap with an "L" on it. This stands for Low Pressure. Most of the time they are blue. Avoid the "H" (High Pressure). The lines are typically silver in color.

Where,exactly, IS the low line port for recharging the AC on my 2003 Chevy Malibu? OR is the coupler that came with the recharge kit the wrong size? I've assumed that most AC units have a standard...

You found the high side port. The other line should have the low side and if it is not on there it might be at the AC evaporator which is a cylinder shape made of aluminum. The cap will have a L on it not a H. Do not force it on the high side.
