Inside the car when I push the circulate button and turn the AC on there is a Green light that appears on the AC button that is normally a sold green color. Now the green light is blinking. The car is blowing HOT air and the AC appears not to be working.

I've checked the ac pressure and it's @ 45psi; even switched out relays and fuses. The only thing I notice is the cooling fans only come on when the vehicle reaches 200degrees. The drivers side fan never comes on when the AC is turned on.

Heeeeelp

Thanks Again,

Blinking light is an indication of codes if possible check for codes
Most likely its low on refrigerant or if you added
You put to much
Need to know the pressure on high side

I like to see low side at 29 to 38 psi and about 100+ ambient temp on high side
