I was about to charge my a/c system today and couldn't locate the low
pressure side connection . Could someone please tell me where its
located.I've looked everywhere and was only able to locate the high pressure
side.

I have a 2000 Grand Prix

Thanks in advance

You are NOT qualified to service an A/C system.

You CANNOT just dump a couple of cans in it from wal(stupid shopper)mart and
have the A/C system work properly.

A, if its LOW it LEAKS that means a REPAIR.
B, R134a has to be measured into the system and not OVERCHARGED. Even 5%
over is worse than 50% under.
C, Moisture in the system and just adding Freon, It turns CORROSIVE.
That equals HIGH repair bills.

If the repair shop would charge a reasonable price for the work they do,
mabey that will eliminate most of the do it yourself-er .

Thanks for the reply anyway.......

1. Really; what Rot.
B. None of what was stated by "I'm right" was true.
III. But remember, you need at least one hand to be an A/C "technician". Be
sure you're qualified.

I didn't answer this, because I don't have a Grand Prix, but since nobody
else is helping you, I will just point out that I had a 1989 Cutlass 3.1,
and on my car it was on the driver's side, down low, under the fresh air
plumbing. I could wiggle my arm down there and get hooked to it, but it was
kind of in a bad spot.

The High Pressure side is on the high side line near the condenser. And the
low side is on the low side suction line. (Got this from Mitchell :P). On my
GP it was under the air filter box I believe. Once you find them the high
side one has a larger diameter. I'm going to assume that you haven't used
the AC in awhile to lubricate the system and that's causing leaks. So why're
you recharging it?
