You need gauges to properly add freon to the system. Using a kit from the auto parts store R-134a can be added to the low pressure hose, it will have a cap on it with an L stamped in it. Follow the directions on the kit. Take it to a repair facility. It will never work properly if you don't have it evacuated, checked for leaks then recharged. To add freon (real term is Refrigerant) to a 96 Taurus you need to access the Low Pressure port located on the firewall at the passenger side in the engine compartment. Go to your local autoparts store and buy a Refrigerant Dispensing unit and 1-2 cans of R-134a Refrigerant Also buy a can of Red Refrigerant Die. This will allow you to locate leaks in the system. Some also work as a sealant sealing the leaks temporarily. Ask your local autoparts store for assistance. They may even help you in their parking lot. (such as autozone or pep boys)

Answering "Where do you add freon to your air conditioner in your ford ranger?"
There is one valve that is used to add refrigrant. But you had better not add Freon. Freon is R12 and your vehicle's A/C system does not have Freon (R12) as a refrigrant. More than likely it uses R134a.
You need a refrigerant recovery system and gauges to do it properly.
