I just did this to my '96 G.C. Look for a black plastic screw off cap (looks like a big tire inflation valve cap) make sure you are on the low pressure side. Buy an adapter that will screw onto a refrigerant can and then screw the hose that came with the adapter onto that uncapped valve. Do the filling while the engine is running at idle speed and have a your A/C turned on to max cooling. If you feel the A/C working, keep looking at the gauge on your new adapter, when it is in the green, you are good to go.If the A/C doesn't work the next day, then it's time to either take it to a good A/C shop or look for other obvious leaks. They have a leak detector on the market, probably pretty expensive. Good Luck!!

If you look on the back of the compressor, there should be an S and P (or H) stamped into it below line positions...you want to charge on the "s" side. BUT, be aware that it is not wise to do this unless the problem is that it's not especially cool and in need of just a squirt of freon...otherwise you are wasting your time and money.

Where is the low pressure ac valave on my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs manufactured in or before 1995 use R12 refrigerant. You mustretrofit these SUVs to accept R134 refrigerant using a retrofit kitavailable at your local auto parts store before you can recharge thesystem. In some areas, a license is required to retrofit an airconditioning system. If this is the case in your area, take your Jeepto a professional to retrofit the system.

Locate the Low Pressure Side connector port: You will find it on the driver's side of the engine.

Good luck!!! (rated this help)

A/C kicking in and out.

There are 2 lines coming off the AC compressor, one is larger than the other (that is the low press line), the low pressure line is the common place that the switch is located, the other is the accumulator can, the low pressure goes to the accumulator, in any event it is always in the low pressure side, large cold line.
