Best Answer

The filter/receiver/drier is an integral part of your car's A/C system that has been designed primarily to trap moisture, effectively removing it from the system and preventing corrosive damage to the A/C system.

This 'drying' action is chemical in nature, so it can't go on endlessly, this is why it is very important to replace the filter/receiver/drier at intervals.

Low pressure test ports are near the receiver/dryer on most vehicles. If you can't find it near the firewall, check between the receiver/dryer and the compressor. A few vehicles don't have a low pressure test port. In that case, the system is tested by pulling the low pressure sensor, jumping it and connecting the gauges directly to the receiver/dryer. But check the entire length of the low pressure line before you do that.
