Grabbed a can of A/C pro with the digital gauge
Popped open the hood and the only ports I can find are these: see attached images

It doesn't seem like the hose from the can clicks on to the one close to the firewall

So tried both ports you see in photos and it isn't it

I need to find the low side

When I researched videos and images on YouTube, Google.
None of the vehicles is the same as my A/C Piping. You would think this would be simple.

If someone has the same year model or has done it B4 plz let me know where it is ?

Most likely because you have R-1234YF in your vehicle not R-134a. Check the sticker on the bottom of your hood for which AC refrigerant is in your vehicle. Ports are different for each refrigerant type.

Looked again, the bottom fitting is on the suction hose. Service valve looks like the top one.

There is a repair kit that several people have used with great success. Maybe do a Google search and it should show up as Google will also bring up conversations from forums.

I tried the Auto part store stuff and it did not work. Since I live in SoCal
I never use the defrost and I park in a garage so I stuffed the wire inside the headliner. So only one wire is attached & when that one falls off it’s going up in the headliner too
