1995 is tricky year for A/C as it changed from R12 to 134A around that time on most vehicles.Do the fill ports look like tire air valves,then they are R12.If they are as fat as your finger with possibly one with a blue cap and the other red its134A. Or both caps could be black but again will be fatter than a tire valve and cap threads will be internal in a 134A system.
DO NOT REFILL with any refrigerant that shows an EXPLOSIVE warning sticker on it.They are usually butane and propane mixes and you may not want that spraying on you in an accident situation.
TIP.If you see any fine grey material in the A/C system on a Ford,the systems A/C compressor is done and has contaminated the complete system.The system has to be completely cleaned before a new compressor can be fitted.A complete disassembly is required to clean the system of the grey material.If you have an R12 system it can be converted to 134A and you will get colder A/C as a bonus.
use to be R-12 but it was all phased out and R-134a is now used, I am assuming you have R-134a which is sold at any discount store(Kmart, Wal-mart, etc) now they do sell R-12 still. Hope this helped Tim
Good Evening. This is a good question since in the early 90's everything had been going through the process of changing over from R-12 to R-134a. Your vehicle takes R-134a and should also have an original tag either on the radiator support or in the engine compartment. The big key is to look and see the little and the bigger snap-lock fittings where a set of gauges would hook into. Unfortunately if i remember right which i hope i don't they are on the drivers side right past the air cleaner underneath, a real pain to get to without taking out the air cleaner. I hope this helps, and if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
mcdevito75 here, I have a 96" and yes you can charge the A/C yourself and you can use the 134A, the Charge port is on 1 of the metal lines comming out the firewall mine is on the metal line just about 6--7 inches from the firewall, the kit you buy for recharge will only fit this low side port, also follow the cans directions very carefully. there may be a screw down cap on this port simply unscrew this cap, port will look similar to the air valve on your tires.
Ok, heres a tough one. In 1995/1996 car manufacturers switched from using r-12 and began using r-134a. If you vehicle uses r-12 you need to put a retrofit kit on you car in order to change to the new r-134a. The best bet for this is to have a repair shop do it as the system needs to be emptied and vaccumed down to check for leaks. r-12 is very harmful to the environment and needs to be handled accordingly. Once the retrofit kit is applied, then you can use r-134a and you are good to go.
