ZJ 93 stored for 4 years..no A/C!
I think the 134 has leaked out of the A/C setup thru the compressor shaft but not sure...where is the low side connector to siphon the recharge or does it have to be pumped into the high side...I only see the High side capped inlet? Is that normal for A/C on a jeep?

There is a low pressure port, it should be on a metal line back by the anti freeze recovery bottle on the passenger side of the vehicle. 134 charging kits are made to only fit the low side valve. DO NOT try to charge it through the high side.

Get yourself some cheap manifold gauges and check to see if the system is really empty/low, or is there's still a charge. If there's still freon that points to a mechanical problem, either a bad switch or bad relay, maybe even a bad compressor. Most likely the system's leaked down over the years, but my '95 had a bad high pressure switch when I got it, so it's something to be aware of.
