Green A/C Light Blinking
I have a 99 GS400. Yesterday the a/c light on my console started blinking and I noticed it wasnt cooling like it was before. But 2 days prior when I was idle I would turn on the a/c and it wouldnt blow cold air until I accelerate. Could the problem be the Magnetic Clutch Relay Switch?

Check for codes by pressing AUTO and R/F SW while you turn the key on. all indicators should light up for one second 4 times in succession. Then you should hear a buzzer. Then a code should read out on the display.
Report back.
Generally it could just mean your compressor is either low on r134 or is leaking slowly...etc.

This is potentially something you can fix yourself -- but dont release refrigerant into the ozone.
Im not condoning that you can fix it yourself; but it is a diy job if you have a small air compressor and a $15 vaccum pump made from refrigerant from hardware stores.

Bringing this back...
So I just did the check, got 00, so I checked the compressor and sure enough, the clutch spun for 10 secs upon kicking the a/c on and then locked up.
So this means I need a new compressor correct?
Where is the best place to get it for the best price?
Thanks,

I’m just a tad confused. I’ve pulled up code 43 but then I pushed the R/F button again and the displays then flashes “20, temp 21, temp 22....” all the way to 29 and then starts over. As the number increases, the lights continue to flash and my blower kicks on a little faster. Hits 29 on display then the blower shuts off. Starts over.
