Angry AC compressor replaced, system charged, AC light still flashing..now what?!

A few weeks ago my AC compressor locked up on me so tonight I got around to replacing it with a reman. I put the compressor on, charged the system with refrigerant and I'm still getting the same results. When I turn the AC on, it will kick on for about 2 seconds, start to blow cold air, then the compressor kicks off and the AC light flashes. What do I do??? Are there any fuses I need to pull or any ECUs I need to reset? I did the climate control diagnostics and only got a Code 21 (Solar sensor) because its dark outside.

This black car with leather in August is killing me..ALMOST as much as the $400 I just spent only to still not have A/C is killing me. What do I do guys?

Thanks in advance!

Not totally sure about your problem, but when I had the flashing ac light, the compressor and the dryer was replaced. Maybe have it checked by a qualified tech before spending any more money.
