A/C charging port
I have a 98 Caravan. I usually charge my own AC, but I have never
tried on this vehicle. I can't figure out which port to use. I see 3. One in the middle of the manifold by the dipstick, one on the lower left of the engine, and one on the left fender. The one on the fender is plastic and labeled Service Port. This seems to be the obvious choice, but my adapter does not hold tight. The plastic seems weird. Any ideas? My gauges clip on typically. TIA, Shane |

A/C charging port
Your van does not need a recharge!
If it is low on Freon (R134a) it is L E A K I N G and needs to be repaired. It is probably the Evaporator core as it is on most chrysler products. It should be covered under recall warranty. But since they are bankrupt, write to the czar obama. -- I'm Right, U R Wrong! "Steve" > wrote in message ... > > "Shane" > wrote in message > ... >>I have a 98 Caravan.

Good possibility you are right. Chrysler has problems with leaks in the evaporator cores. I had this with my 97 van, and replaced the core myself. Still, it was not a cheap job. |
