Q: Question about charging the air conditioning system
My 2009 jeep compass has a charging port on the inside of the engine compartment located on the small line. You cannot charge on the small line, so I located the large line under the car near the radiator, but the charging port is too big to fit on my charging hose---do I need an adapter??? Thanks
