Has anyone else had this problem before. My A/C light just flashes for a few seconds after I push it in and the A/C doesn't work. Anyone else have this problem or know what it could be?

 

Yes, I have this problem too, but it only happened a few times. I couldn't get it to do it for the dealer so they couldn't tell me anything.

Does anyone know why these cars are having this problem??? I have an 06 SS

 

Might want to consider finding a new dealer. Information on issues like this are right at the dealers fingertips. Here is a list of all the possible causes of the A/C LED flashing on the A/C button..........

• The throttle position is 100 percent.

• The A/C pressure is more than 3034 kPa (440 psi).

• The A/C pressure is less than 241 kPa (35 psi).

• The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is more than 124°C (255°F).

• The engine speed is more than 5480 RPM for at least 409 seconds.

• A transmission shift has occurred.

• The PCM detects excessive torque load.

• The PCM detects insufficient idle quality.

• The PCM detects a hard launch condition.

• Outside air temperature is detected to be below 38° F by the OAT sensor if equipped.

• The blower switch is turned OFF.

When the A/C compressor clutch is disengaged for any of these reasons, the A/C indicator LED will flash indicating A/C is not functioning. When the compressor clutch disengages, the compressor clutch diode protects the electrical system from a voltage spike.

 

bowtie, where do you get your info?! i know in your name it says tech, but how do you go about getting that stuff

 

Good info. I'll have to keep that in mind if it ever happens.

 

• Outside air temperature is detected to be below 38° F by the OAT sensor if equipped.

• The blower switch is turned OFF.

^ Only times mine has ever flashed.
