I have no cold air, and the compressor cycles on/off frequently.  I'd like
to recharge the air conditioner system, but I can't find the recharge (low
pressure) port.  There is a port that sticks out of a cover at the front of
the engine compartment, just above the radiator, but it is the high
pressure port.

Where is the low pressure port for the a/c system on this vehicle?

Thanks!

There isnt one- only a high pressure point, which requires the use of a
proper a/c gassing unit (with the pipes fitted backwards!)

Ah, ok.  Well, that would explain why I can't find it.  Thanks for the info!

My 2002 USA Focus has one(low pressure port). It is "hidden" on top of
the accumulator  which is near the front right wheel well. It is
probably necessary to remove the wheel well shield to access it.

It has one under the passenger side fender, follow the A/C hoses.
