Default A/c light blinking on climate control

My 99 ls400 ac light is blinking on the climate control. Anyone have any thoughts on what it could be?

From the 99 LS400 owners manual:

"If the air conditioning compressor does not operate, the
indicator of the ”A/C” button will blink. If the indicator of
the ”A/C” button blinks even when the ”A/C” button is
pushed again, have the compressor checked by your
nearest Lexus dealer."

Several issues can cause this with a common one being that the refrigerant level is too low - maybe due to a leak. The refrigerant lubricates the compressor and a safety switch turns it off if the refrigerant level is too low.
