I bought a kit to recharge my AC. The directions say to hook it up to the
low pressure side to do it. It says the cap will be blue or black. The
only cap I see is RED. Can anyone help me find this damn thing? I dont
want a can exploding in my hand by hooking it up to the high side.

If it is similar to my 95 GA, it is located near the ac pump between the
engine and radiator. This area is too small to get the can, hose and your
hands into safely while the engine is running. I ended up buying a longer
hose.
