If you can't find the A/C high and low ports you have no business trying to charge it yourself.

If the system is indeed low on refrigerant there has to be a reason - like a leak. Putting more refrigerant in won't fix the leak.

The problem may not even be a leak. Refrigerant is not the cure-all for all A/C problems.

Are you saying its blowing warm?not blowing at all?blowing out defrost but not vents? If its blowing warm you need a set of guages and look at pressures. Its probaby worth it to pay an hr diag to a professional.

Greetings and Welcome
We need more info about your AC problem.

The ports are located high on the passenger side.
IF your Axes uses r134a freon you'll be ok checking and adding (if needed) freon with an over the counter kit like this, available at Walmart, autosupply stores etc.
However if your system uses the newer R1234yf (ford is rapidly switching) you'll have to take your mh to a AC repair shop.
