You were told back in Feb that you need to get a new shifter. So, it's been working okay since then........or you've been forcing it to work?

As for the HVAC unit, when it starts blinking, it "usually" is the first sign that it is failing and it's just a matter of time before it quits completely. The fact that the A/C isn't turning on already is confirmation of the failure. Sorry.

Well I have not gotton a new shifter,don't know the cost of that,no warranty. I get it out of park,not forcefully tho,and the A.C info you gave me is mentally noted. Good thing I work overnite , I jus take the top off due to heat.

I have heard from some to disconnect the battery for a few minutes which sometimes clears electrical glitches. Unlikely to work in your case.
