A/C Light Blinking (Used Search)
Well,
Coming to work this morning my A/C light started blinking and my car bogged down for a few seconds. Ran diagnostic and got code 21 but car was inside and not in sun. When I hit the A/C button I get a grinding noise at the compressor for about three seconds and then the clutch shuts back off. I'm assuming my compressor clutch or the compressor itself has taken a dump. When it shuts off the A/C light starts blinking again. So do you guys think for sure it's the compressor ???? Car is a 92 SC300 but only has 84,000 miles on it. I think since I'm going to keep the car for a long time that I'll lean toward a new compressor. Reagan at Sewell lexus takes very good care of me so I'll check pricing on a new compressor. Anybody else have a source for a new one ????

just found 26 threads on ac blinking, all said compressor. Only 3 or so had such obvious symptoms as the bad part literally screaming at you. Time for new parts and a charge up.

OLT,
Yeah, and I think I read them all. Ordered a new compressor and drier from Reagan at Sewell. My mechanic confirmed when I drove it by there. Only day in Texas it's been in the high seventies in months and today is when my A/C takes a crap. Having that kind of month.

I'll take your high 70's. My '50 has been parked un-operated on since the weather turned. Gotta get warm enough to convince me to go outside and swap those engine mounts so I can take a "slow ride".
The SC is a hot car by nature. You don't need heat, but you have to have cool.
