Questions on AC low pressure port and missing cap
ECLiPSE 2002
I discovered that the cap on the low pressure port of my 2004 T&C van
was missing and wonder if this has caused any problems. Is its purpose
merely a dust cap (if so would any tight fitting cap suffice) or does
it have other purposes?
Next problem is where to find a replacement without being raped by the
dealer. Anyone know where I might locate one?

I would try a salvage yard. One from another year and/or model would
probably fit.
Everytime I have my A/C serviced, I always check for these before
leaving the shop. Very few take the time to put them back after the
work.

Thanks for the response - will try a salvage yard. Still not sure if
the cap serves any other purpose than to keep moisture and dirt out of
the port.

holds everything in . the cap works like a valve stem cap on your tire.

Besides keeping dirt out it should have an o-ring in it and it's a
second seal to prevent freon from leaking out if the schreader valve
leaks a little. Usually if there is a leak you'll see oil. If you
run by an AC repair shop they may have a cap laying around they would
give you.
