1998 S70 - Remote won't open doors when it's hot outside!

Wonder if anyone else has had this weird problem:

When the temperature outside is quite warm (>90 degrees F) and my 1998 S70 has been sitting in the sun awhile (or even in a hot indoor garage) the remote control isn't able to open the sedan's doors, at least on the driver's side.

Pressing the ...

Re: Where's the A/C low-pressure recharge port 1998 S70?

Please disregard my above inquiry re the location of the low-pressure A/C port on my 1998 S70. ((I tried to find a way to delete the original post but didn't see a way to d so.)

Eureka!

I *finally* found it -- for anyone else having trouble finding it, it's (hidden under a hose, in my car) on ...

1986 740 GLE wagon -- where's the A/C low-pressure port?

I only see one A/C port, and it's connected directly to the A/C compressor at the rear-passenger side under the hood.

It looks to me like the hose connector of the aftermarket can of 134a refrigerant I bought to recharge the A/C (I'd converted to 134a a few years ago) wouldn't even fit this port ...

Where's the A/C low-pressure recharge port 1998 S70?

Can someone please inform me as to where the low-pressure port is located on my 1998 S70 so I can recharge the system with 134a refrigerant? I can't find it.

Thanks much!

Thanks for your reply, JRL.

Now, regarding the rear-view mirror, it *does* move up and down to adjust, apparently, for nighttime driving so as to enable the driver to lessen the intensity of the headlights of cars following behind.

However, what I haven't been able to figure out is how to make the ...

1998 S70 with 84K miles -- what should I service/rep

Can anyone please direct me to an online source for where I can find out what scheduled service maintenance should be done/should already have been done on a (used) 1998 S70 with 84,000 miles on it?

Unfortunately, while the car looks almost new from the outside and runs fine (except for that ...

5) My radio (SC-901, part of the Pro Logic audio system) also suffers from poor reception. I've checked both antennae and they are sending signal, but I found that with this model if you hold down the "Mode" button while turning the radio on it will show an option for "Antenna Boost On [Off]".
