A/c light blinks

I have a problem with the a/C switch in my 98 C5. It has the auto system and for some reason the light on the A/C switch went off. I pushed in in and the light just blinks a few times and stays off. Of course, the compressor goes off too. Any help on this?

What is your outside temp (according to the car)?

My outside temp initially reads in single digits at which time the a/c will not work. Once the ambient temp goes up I can turn the a/c on.

Not normal, unless you live in the North Pole.

Yes lucky I think the connector to the temp sensor in the radiator area is faulty. Unfortunately I'm on crutches now so it will just have to ride for now.
