Not sure where you are located, But the ac light will flash if it is cold outside and will not turn on, It has to be above a certain temp for the ac to work.

My 97 A/C does the same thing when I push the A/C button. It flashes and than goes off. My outside temperature reading is correct with actual temp. I was going to bring it down and check and see if it just needed some freon. After reading this post that might not be the answer.

Mine flashed when freon was low. Put 1.5 lbs in and have no flashing and cold air coming out both sides.
