Air Con Light Blinking

[solitaire]

Anyone know if the aircon light blinking on a AE92 Levin is a generic error or pointing to something specific?

Only does it on "AC" not on "ECON"

Mine started doing that when it was out of gas, so i just pulled the air con out of the car.
Check the gas

Not out of gas but it's when there is a problem with the pump.

There is a pressure pulse or speed sensor in there and if the pump doesnt pump enough it will click out and go into fault mode.

The light will come on for a few sec's then the clutch clicks out and the light flashes?

Meaning a faulty compressor or magnetic clutch matt?

normally.

or the speed sensor is unplugged or damaged wiring to it.

Belt slip can also cause it.

Just thought id update this thread with what this error light meant to me in case anyone else ever searches...

On saturday, the day before my wedding , The air con pump seized... so the levin went home on a tow truck

So yeah... i know what the flashing light means now.... change the pump

Yeah, my GT4 does it too... no noises or seizing of the pump, but apparently the bearings can go in them in which they continue spinning but stop compressing. Common with the compressors too, and theyre an odball compressor on a GT4, so i hope the levin is a common one. a Second had GT4 one costs $200 plus about $500 for the work, gas, consumables etc to fit it.


Anyone know of someone who can do it cheaper?

aircon is overrated


(I only say that cos aircon in my ae111 doesnt work due to faulty heater unit )

Old cars will generally be expensive to refill, because afaik they have to change the gas with a different kind (R134 instead of R12? They might use a new one now)

Mine got converted by auckland auto air (i think) for $300... that included replacing all the seals... top lads...
