Default AC Light Blinking

Hi all!

I started my car today and realized it was not blowing cold air. When I got to the climate screen, I noticed the AC light was blinking.

Any ideas/advice is much appreciated.

Chances are the blinking light is telling you the A/C compressor is not engaging.
The A/C compressor has a safety feature that keeps the clutch from engaging the compressor if the refrigerant pressure is either too low or too high.

My guess is that it is probably too low and that you need a recharge.
