a/c light flashing

[fx gt]

when i turn on the aircon for my fxgt (ae92) the a/c and econ button start flashing,what does this mean?

hope i havnt broken anything

[dazzag]

its means that there is a fault in the ac system. not sure exactly what the fault could be. i think it depends on how many times it flashes.

[fx gt]

dam,i better get it checked out then before i use the aircon again,im pretty sure it just keeps on flashing

[dazzag]

yeah its best to get it checked before you use it again.if you in wellington area i can give you a number for a ac specialist that is real good and has good prices

[fx gt]

nah im in auckz

The A/C ligh flashing means the sensor in the pumps has detected that the pump aint pumpin and is most likely stuffed.
I have seen this a few times and had it happen on my AE92.

[fx gt]

where bouts is the pump situated?

[dazzag]

underneath the power steering pump.if you looking at the engine from the front of the car its on the bottom right side of the engine

[fx gt]

thanks,ill try all the fittings and stuff like that

[Alex B]

what do you mean try all the fittings? dont un attach it unles its stuffed, they arnt the cheepest to get refilled

[fx gt]

ahh i c,just check nothing is unpluged etc etc,and ill check fuses

[Alex B]

yea check all that and do the revs go down a bit when you turn it on at idel?

[fx gt]

ahh i c,just check nothing is unpluged etc etc,and ill check fuses

[Alex B]

well if the revs go down it means the clutch is enableing. Maybe you got a gas leak?

[fx gt]

yip the revs do go down,but how does that cause the clutch to enable?

[Alex B]

the a/c clutch not the trans clutch

[fx gt]

hehehe woops:Pi know some one that has a dignoses(or how ever you spell it) so i may get them to plug it in to see whats going on:?:?

[matt dunn]

The light flashes cuse the sensor in the pump is not detecting pulses.

For this to happen the clutch must engage first for it to start to sense.
This means that the gas electric's and the a/c clutch are all fine.

The pump itself has worn out inside and cannot create enough flow.
The sensor is in the centre housing of the pump. Make sure it is plugged in. If it is, you need a new/second hand pump.
