My AC and heat were working great until I had my engine rebuiled. I assume when then engine was pulled out the freon leaked out. Si I refilled it thinking it would correct the issue but no luck. I see when I start my 90 Corvette that the light above the on and off switch blinks. Anyone out there knows of the solution to this issue?

Thanks

 

Most common cause of flashing light. Low Freon.

1990 - 1996: HVAC Diagnostic Codes

On 1990 to 1996 Corvettes equipped with RPO C68 (electronic climate control), it is possible to read the HVAC system diagnostic codes from the climate control panel on the dashboard.


1. To enter the diagnostic mode, press the fan up and down arrow buttons at the same time until -00 appears on the digital readout.

2. One you have entered the diagnostic mode, you can scroll through the various parameters by using the up and down fan buttons.

3. To view the value for a particular parameter, press the "AUTO" fan button.


Note: If you see a "-" next to a parameter value (example: "-105"), you must add "100" to that value to obtain the correct value for that parameter. Therefore, the correct reading would be 205 for this example.
