Default A/C update

Hello, A/C is working again. When I turned on the A/C the light would just flash and the compressor would not turn on. Turned out to be the PCM. I had a Chevy Dealer in Ft Lauderdale do the repair. (Phil Smith)
the cost was a little under 400 with labor. They also checked all the vac. lines and cleaned out the A/C drains while they had it apart.

I may have the same issue. Where's the best place to pick up a PCM?

I wish I would have known what the problem was without going to the dealer. it looked very easy to install. Just make sure you buy one that is pre-programed to your car.
