Default 2006 Taurus AC Recharge, help needed

Hello!

I want to recharge AC for my 2006 Taurus, I bought this from Amazon, but it doesn't fit. Do I need to get another adapter? What kind?

Any help, much appreciated!

You are probably trying to attach it to the high side coupler, there is both a low side and high side couplings and they are different sizes.
You can damage the ac system if you charge it incorrectly.
To properly charge a vehicles ac system you have to evacuate it, pull a deep vacuum, then recharge it to specification. This tool will only charge it and likely not do so correctly, the ac system machine that dealers/indie shops have run from $1000 to $5000.

Thanks!

I believe I located low side coupler correctly, maybe the ball bearings on the brass low side quick coupler came stuck, that caused me not able to connect...
