Do I hook up the recharge kit next to the battery compartment?

there are 2 ports on the pass. side. one near the radiator fill point and 1 near the battery. you want the low pressure port (the one near the battery). if you car is really low you can put liqiuid in (turn the can upside down) WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING and wait 10min for it to expand before you start it. then only install gas (can right side up).

the ports are covered with black plastic caps and the high pressure is smaller than the low.

More Than Zero

BTW a full recharge takes a little over 2 12oz cans.

not to be mean, but if you don't know where the ports are, you shouldn't be messing with your A/C system. Damage to it or it's components can cost ALOT of $$. Take it to a professional!

The hose will only fit on the low side and that is the one closest to the firewall.
