I have a 2006 with 32k miles and it started flashing. I have yet to check the part number but anyone here with an 06 run into the same problem? I would think that the part is different for the model year and it could've just gone bad? Dealers here in Germany are backlogged and I can't get an appt for at least 3 weeks. I may have to suck it up and replace the part myself once I've confirmed the part number.
Take it out. Tap it on a solid surface a few times and stick it back in. If it works it is the relay, no matter what part number you have.

The a/c light is blinking on my 2003 4runner as well. I just called the dealership and was informed that if I do need to replace the magnetic relay switch, the repairs would cost up to $1100 since it's no longer under warranty . That seems quite unreasonable! Are they serious??

Check out this thread. Order the relay mentioned on page 6 from Digikey. I ordered 2. Less than $15 shipped. Arrived in less than a week. I broke off the center of 3 pins. It works perfect!!! Sure beats $1100!!! You can also try the tap on a hard surface trick. Mine lasted over 10 months longer that way. If it works it is the relay only. If it doesn't still replace the relay. You will only be out less than $10.

A/C light flashing??

See pic with pin broken off.
