Ford systems use an accumulator dryer on the low side of the system. The charge port is on that accumulator mostly. You should be able to easilly locate the accumulator; it’s a big can with hoses running in and out of it.

Just wondering, what has made you give in? What is the problem? In many cases, simply charging an A/C system is dangerous without knowing what is going on within the system. Do you even plan on using a gauge to measure system charge?

How about you type up a description of the problem, and what you have done so far to try and find a solution. There are many users on this forum that are knowledgeable in the area of A/C systems. It being summer right now, A/C posts come into this forum at the rate of half a dozen a day. Most of them are solved (or as close to solved as we can get) within 24 hours.
