A/C Blinking~

[t65k3]

Hey, guys, one quick question~
I noticed the indicating light, "A/C" was blinking this morning. I turned it off and turned it back on, and it stopped blinking and everything was normal again.
The reason I noticed was that I felt the air was not cold anymore.
I checked the manual and it says there is a problem with the air conditioning system. Just trying to get an idea what I might have here before hitting the shop.
Thanks in advance.....

It's the magnetic clutch relay. It's about a $65 part, replace that and the blinking AC light will go away and AC will work normally. There's also a TSB out for it. IIRC, it's mostly on early 2004 (most are 2003 production models) and earlier Toyotas.

Alternatively, I think it was the fog light fuse that some members here have swapped over with the faulty AC one to get by and have AC in the interm.

Here's the thread with the TSB on the first page. Page five has some discussion in regards to the relay swap.

Go to advanced Auto! I got mine for $16. Don't go to the stealer! My $16 dollar one hasn't failed me yet, and the a/c blows ice cold.
