Your kit should have a connector that only fits one place.

From a '96,which has R134a. I would imagine similar to yours.
Note the two metal lines coming out of the rear of the compressor (the big silver unit at the lower right with the "709T" marking). In each line, there is a plastic cap on top, covering the valves.
The right line, silver in color, has a smaller schrader valve. The left line, which is black, has a larger funky valve. I have no idea what the style is called, but it's basically just a cone-shaped ball check valve.
You want to fill from the low-pressure side, which in this case is the silver line with the schrader valve.

This picture is nothing like mine, mine has two large silver lines coming out of the compressor,one witch has a valve with a cap on it and I think the oter goes to the condensor,=. I went to auto zone a little while ago and got one of those kits.hooked it all up and the gauge showed nothing so I done like the directions said and it drained the can.Then I realized the gauge was messed up and thats why it read nothing. So I took it back to auto zone and traded it in on a good gauge, come home hooked it up and it said it was in the danger zone so I drained it till about 55 or 60 lbs still I have no air ,I can jump the switches and it will work. yes I need help!!!

Id still make sure its not just low on freon before you go replacing the switch. Does the kit you bought have a guage on it?
