AC „OFF“ light flasches????

my AC "OFF" light flashes for about 1 minute or so and then stops. My AC works fine, but why does it flash; can it be that there is not enough R12 fluid in the system?????

Re: AC „OFF“ light flasches????

What year and what make LT1? What AC "OFF" light flashes? You mean the "off" position indicator for the heating and A/C control dial?

The AC system uses R134a.

Injuneer, thanks for the reply.
I have a 1992 LT1 Corvette, with R12 fluid not R134a.

The OFF button, is the button that turns off the A/C. If I would, after I start the engine, push the auto. button or any other, this button will also flash.

I guess you do know you are posting in a f-body forum and not a y-body (plus being an engine tech forum)? We don't have auto climate control. You may need to seek advice from a Corvette forum, where people are more familiar with the car. There might even be something in your owner's manual that describes that behavior.

Re: AC „OFF“ light flasches????

I know exactly where I am. I posted the same question in the Corvette Forum and received no answers. Looking into the manual was, logically the first thing I did!!!
The reason for posting it here is, that there are more people reading and posting in this forum; and I’ve been a member for quite a while.

I hate to state the obvious.... but why the he!! didn't you include that very basic info with your initial post. No better way to pi$$ people off, than wasting their time asking a question, and then throwing in the required info in a later post.

Good luck.

Just trying to help. Not too many people here will be familiar with those controls.
