A/c Question

[pepa2004]

My 2002 ES300 green aircon light is blinking when turned on. I know something is wrong with my A/C. The question is, should I bring it into the dealership or do I find some certified A/C shop to get it fixed. Your feedback will be very appreciated.

The most common reason for a blinking A/C light would be because the A/C compressor is not turning at a rate cognizant with the engine RPM. That could be the result of a loose or worn drive belt, a slipping A/C compressor clutch, or even an A/C compressor clutch that isn't engaging at all due to a failed relay or blown fuse.

Now that you're "armed", aftermarket, NEVER dealer for A/C work.
