Question
Where is the low side port on a 2000 Ford Expedition - Eddie Bauer lager V 8 engine?
Thank you

Answer
Tom,
You may not like this answer. How do I know? because I have a 99 Eddie Bauer expedition with the 5.4, and the answer I get from my books is not at all correct. Well, it may be correct, and mine is a special case.
According to all of my literature that I have on them, and I have a rather large amount, the low side port is located on the accumulator. This is the canister on the passenger side firewall. It also has the low pressure switch mounted on it.
I dislike this because if your accumulator/drier was ever replaced with an aftermarket accumulator... you no longer have a low side port. As is the case with mine. (Before I bought it)
I have doublechecked in my data and for the year 2000, it is in the same location.
I hope I was of some help, and good luck in everything.
