Where is the AC port on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?
3.6L Has the configuration for the AC ports. The high side service port is located on the A/C liquid line, near the upper radiator support. The low side service port is located on the A/C suction line, near the left strut tower.
How do you recharge AC on the Jeep Grand Cherokee?
I feel that the AC is not quite as cold as before – or that it takes longer to be cool – or that after 5 years it could benefit from a few sips of 134a refrigerant. On Subarus, one looks for the low pressure port, connects the hose to the port and to the can, and with the AC on, shakes the can until it empties and becomes cold in the process.
What kind of air conditioner does a Jeep Grand Cherokee use?
The Cherokee takes either R12 or R134a Freon, but the system is only intended for one or the other. Adding R12 to an R134a system causes damage to the air conditioner. R12 is used in vehicles predating 1984. Vehicles manufactured 1984 and later are required to use R134a. The Jeep Grand Cherokee’s air conditioner is a pressurized system.
Can you add Freon to a Jeep Cherokee?
If there is a problem with your compressor or evaporator, adding freon will not restore cooling. How to add freon to your 2000 Jeep Cherokee: hook up the can of refrigerant (likely r-134a) to the low pressure port. When your compressor kicks on, add freon to the correct pressure. In addition to cooling, freon lubricates the compressor when it runs.
