You will have do a few things to get to the valve to recharge or refill your R134a (freon). Step #1: You need to raise (jack up) the<front driver side>of your Lincoln LS enough to get underneath it. Step #2: There will be a panel/cover right by the front driver side wheel,back area(NOT THE WHEEL WELL)you will need to remove that panel/cover to get access to the valve.When the panel/cover is removed you'll see the input valve and it's pointing towards the front of the vehicle,but it's still located near the back/middle of the front driver side tire area. Step #3: Insert the plug/connector to the input valve and recharge your R134a/Freon and it usually takes 3-cans of 12-oz of R134a to fully recharge the Air Conditioning system.It might be better to buy the R134a with the "Stop Leak" just in case you have a leak in your system.But you do NOT need to buy the more expensive R134a as long you refill your AC system with about 36oz of R134a your AC will be "ICE COLD". If your experience your AC getting warm at times especially when you accelerate check your thermostat in your Lincoln you might have to replace the "thermostat" which runs around $15 and easy to fix/replace. I hope this was some help to you because I just had my AC recharge on my 2001 Lincoln LS 3.9 V8,and I thought that valve that's located under the hood was the input valve for the AC (R134a) but it wasn't so I had to ask my mechanic where it was and we looked for it found it in an unusual spot.Do the work yourself and spend about $20-$25 on R134a and it takes about 20-30 minutes to do the job and you can save around $75 instead of taking it to a shop. GOOD LUCK save yourself some money and enjoy your fully recharged "Ice Cold" AC!
