Default air conditioning out of whack

Just wondering if any of you have encountered this situation. My air conditioning doesn't blow at all; also, there seems to be a problem with the outside air tempurature gauge as well. It will jump through quite a few temps as I am driving from 90 all the way up to 150. Also, the A/C button blinks. Thanks for the help.

Compressor issue - I would take it to a mechanic unless you have some knowledge of HVAC. Even hooking up gauges can be dangerous.

Certain years have a TSB for the relay, that will cause the ac light to flash. You could also place your controller into diag mode ( just push the right combination of buttons). I would also not recommend trying to hook up gauges unless you have some training. You did not mention what year/model that you have.

I have a 2004 GS300. The A/C light still flashes and the air will only blow for a few seconds then turn back off. Also, the outside temp still reads speratic temps, now from -22 to 150. By-the-way, what does TSB mean?
