Blinking A/C light - only at night

My A/C light blinks only at night - which is when the headlights are turned on. Any ideas?

The clutch moves freely on the compressor, the AC button works and the A/C blows cool.

Any ideas?

I've had this problem. It was not specific to night though. I just hit the ac button off then hit it back on and it stops. Never really looked into it. Will do some research and get back to you

You can put the climate control into a diagnostic mode.

You have to hold two buttons on the climate control, but I don't remember though.

I believe the blinking A/C light means that it's low on R134a
