AC Button Flashing?
Hello All,
I've noticed that at times, the amber light in the AC button will flash for a minute or two when pushed. I read somewhere that this is indicating a low refrigerant charge. The AC does blow cold but if it's needing a charge, I'd just as soon get some in there since it's also a lubricant and a coolant for the compressor.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Yep, bring it to a shop to get it recharged. They should be able to tell you how much charge it needed - keep an eye on it; if it gets low again in a short while you have a leak that needs fixing. Of course, if it takes another 10 years to get low, it's not much of an issue
