me four ... the ZJ used 'spring-lock' connectors like most Fords do,
easy assembly in the factory, good initial quality but long term
reliability isn't very good. replace ''em all.
the ZJ is a CCOT system, if it runs long at low charge you can burn
up your compressor clutch (from rapid cycling) or fail the shaft seal
because with low refrigerant flow things run much hotter than normal
and the oil circulation is poor.
if after replacing the o-rings you still run low next season then its
compressor time.
reboot
