Blinking Defroster Light

[blake918]

My front defroster light will blink sometimes when I first start the car in the morning. The light will blink for a few seconds, and the a/c will not work, but, after the light blinks for a few seconds, the a/c is perfectly fine. This is not a regular thing it's happened maybe 3 times in the past 2 months. Any ideas???

your AC compressor might be starting to go bad.

or maybe the blower moter too

i had that same thing happend to an eclipse i had, when i turned the ac on the light would blink like what you are talking about

nah, i dont think so it means that ur system was reset. looks like a power problem. disconnect the battery and then connect it back and turn the ignition on and check the light, if its gonna do same thing then its a power problem, if not then it might be ur compressor. there is a way to get an error code on the temp LCD, i just forgot the sequence.

Your a/c light or your defroster ?

I just checked for error codes...I have none. I held the Auto + Recirculate buttons while I turned the key. The climate controler blinked and beeped a few times, and then, it displayed "00."

I hope it's not the compressor. The A/C works fine.
