Default My A/C stopped blowing cold air and the A/C button starts Blinking

A/C stops blowing cold air and the A/C button on the temperature control panel starts blinking.

Restarting it after few minutes, it cools for 10 minutes. then starts blinking again and stops cooling.

Recharged it with freon but no luck . Please help.

Need more info........ Is the compresor running when it stops blowing cold air or does it shut off?
Did you check for DTCs by pressing the RECIRC and AUTO buttons at the same time?..... If so what trouble code is displayed?

Default Relay

This could be as simple as a bad A/C relay. Check out this thread:

Chuckinnj gave you good advise. As a heads up, the three most common causes for your symptom (in no particular order) are:

- low on refrigerant (possible leak)
- misbehaving AC relay
- inoperative cooling fan(s)

There obviously are other possible causes, but these are the most common ones.

Looks like his ES300 is a 2005 according to his profile, if that is true than that thread is of no use.
