Topic starter

2003 Toyota Highlander 2.4 114k miles. Recently got it. It's been sitting for nearly a year. I vacuumed the AC system and it held vacuum so I charged it up and it worked great. I left the car for 2 days came back to turn on the AC and now the AC light is blinking. I already changed the compressor relay with no luck. Any thoughts??

unfortunately the manual is not in the vehicle

Fortunately an internet search finds multiple sources for the manual in about 5 seconds, including directly from Toyota.

@chucktobias didn't even think of this. Thanks


@gemini15 I found it on page 152 in the owners manual. "If the “A/C” button indicator flashes, there
is a problem in the air conditioning system
and the air conditioning automatically
shuts off. If this happens, take your ve-
hicle to a Toyota dealer for service."


@oskool Probably refrigerant leaked out.


@chucktobias yes I will take a good look into this either tomorrow or Friday and check the pressure and fuses power to the compressor stuff like that

What does your owner's manual say about a blinking AC light? (Of course chances are with a vehicle that old that at least some of the refrigerant has leaked out.)
