Default AC intermittent ON

I’m battling the actuator issues and also have another problem.

When I try to turn on the AC, the AC light blinks several times and then goes out. The AC does not go on.

During a test drive tonight, I was able to get the AC to go on but no cold air. I’m getting the 361 and 441 error codes so I know I have an actuator problem and maybe Freon or bad compressor?

Any thoughts?

Is the driver-side and passenger side actuator the same part? I've seen a completely round one (passenger side?) and one that is "angular" (driver side?).

thanks in advance for your help

Could be a blown fuse or relay.

You don't say where you're located ? It could be too cold out for the AC to work depending on your location.

More info is needed.

I'm located in sunny So Cal.

Indicated outside temperature was 59 and the control is preset to a low of 60.
