Hi guys,

Only just signed up to the forum and not 100% sure on how the whole thing works. Not sure if i can search this site for my problem or just start a thread like i have. Anyway my 2004 GV A/C light has started flashing intermittently. Seems to still be working fine though. I counted 12-13 flashes each time it does this but was a bit hard as i was in traffic. I am thinking the flashes may be a code for a re gas or something similar. Any help would be fantastic!

Cheers, Aaron.

Hey Mate,

Not sure on your particular vehicle. But on vehicles I have worked on it usually means the the compressor clutch is slipping/faulty. I'm sure one of the other boys on here will have a definitive answer for you. But maybe in the mean time have a quick look if the compressor clutch is slipping or not engaging properly.

Cheers

Sean

Thanks Sean, I'm not very knowledgeable with mechanical stuff but hoping to get steered in the right direction. Cheers for your advice mate.

Does your car have horizontal sliders for the A/C controls or circular knobs? If it's the circular knobs, the A/C system is controlled by a computer module (the BCM or Body Control Module) and it has detected an error of some sort, most likely related to one of the actuators.

It has the circular knobs, I'll get it booked in to a car a/c mechanic soon cheers fordem.
