Default AC Light Shuts Off - Does NOT Blink (Need Help)

I cannot get my AC to stay on. Specifically, I push the button and the light goes off after about 2-3 seconds. (Does not blink, just shuts off)

Is this a sign of low refrigerant? Possibly Actuators?

I've read all the post and they say the AC light blinks before shutting off but mine just shuts off.

My vette is a 2000 C5 with dual automatic climate control.

Thanks!

Make sure you have FREON, , , , , , , , , , , , ,Or hit the AC button again, sometimes mine has to be pushed more then once to stay on or off. Something to do with the automatic units.................Ya know computer controlled.......

Check your freon pressures. If they're good, check fuses and small grey relay in the under hood panel. My A/C stopped working until I replaced the A/C relay with my horn relay.

i just had my ac charged and they could not get it to blow cold throught the headunit. they could jump it throught the engine compartment fuse box tho? I just checked and i have no codes either.
