How do you refill freon on 1998 Lincoln Continental?

Answer 1

There is a little cap, looks like the cap on a bicycle tube, under the hood on the driver's side, toward the center-rear of the engine compartment. Take the cap off, use a pressure gauge for AC's (you can get a set up pretty cheap at Kragen, Pep Boys, or another auto parts house). With the car running and the AC on high, check the pressure to make sure that you aren't overfilling the system. Then, using the same kit you bought at the auto parts store, connect a can to it, connect the line to the bicycle tube-like nipple, and, with the car started and the AC running on high, open up the can and charge the system. Takes about a minute for the can to empty into the system. Remove the filler hose, attach the pressure testing valve, and check your system again. If it needs more, repeat the process. Really fairly straightforward once you have a decent filler kit.
