Default help a/c problem

ok so this all started about a week ago i have never had any problems out of my a/c and then one night i tried to turn it on and the light on the a/c switch flashed and wouldnt stay on the fan is still blowing air but the a/c itself wont turn on to cool the air well later that night i tried it again and it worked light came on and everything. well yesterday i tried to turn it on and its not working again same routine light flashes and then goes off any clues of what it could be i could really use the help these high ninety degree days and low eighties nights are really starting to suck lol

on a side note i doubt this would affect it but just noting the lights on my climate control have been out could it be something with the sauder on the control????

If the outside temp reads less than like 40 or something around there the a/c won't kick on and will cause that button to flash. I've had it happen a couple of times where my outside reading is like -12 even though it's 90 outside and that happens. Just one of probably many possibilities.

This happened to me a couple of times. My outside temp reads 69 degrees all the time. The last time the a/c light binked on me, was when i went throught the car wash. I havent had any problems sence. may need to change the outside sensor.

it means you need to recharge your system, compressor wont switch on if it reads the levels are too low, keeps the compressor from burning out.
