Looked at my CD-Rom for 95 Ford cars and seems to be that the system needs to be charged. Need to check the system pressure, should be minimum of 50 psi according to service guide on CD-Rom. How and where do I check the pressure at? I noticed a scraeder valve connection on the a/c line can I just attach a pressure gauge here (like in the fuel system) and check the pressure?<br />Also, anyone know how much a recharge would cost? (It's a 95 with a 5.0L so it's already got the 134a refrigerant type) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>91sleeper</b> <br /><small>Member # 779</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,2,23,14,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> It's like $30 bucks for new refrigerant from Kragen. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>st5150</b> <br /><small>Member # 51</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,2,24,15,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> The refrigerant is in a closed system and doesn't get consumed.
