The light on my air condition switch blinks on and off. It works fine for about a hour. Then it starts blinking on and off and the ac stops working. It starts to work again after I shut it off for a while.

Same problem: 1997 Camry 4Cyl. The light on my air condition switch blinks on and off. It works fine for about a hour. Then it starts blinking on and off and the ac stops working. It starts to work again after I shut it off for a while.

This only happens when the outdoor temperature is around 105 degrees here in Las Vegas - but that happens quite often - and that is exactly the time when the AC is really necessary!

The freon level has been checked several times and pronounced as OK - but they always say the same thing - "Bring it back when it is not working..." Problem is that it always starts working again after it cools a bit.... HELP, PLEASE.

I have a 99 Camry, great car . . .have the same problem, but only when I have recently drove through a fairly deep puddle of water, or many deep puddles. Usually rights itself within minutes after driving. Hope this helps.

I have that going on too w/a '95 Camry. Pressed the ac button down and held while cranking. That would great, and sort of reset it.

Got a new battery a month later. That trick is not working now. Now I see the battery may have blown the fuse in the magnetic clutch relay, located behind the battery in a black fuse box.

Open box look for MG CLT. W/needle nose plyers pull the fuse stright up and out. Replace w/part # 90987-02028.

Thank you for the help. I changed the a/c electric clutch relay and the a/c works great. We had the same intermittent light blinking for three summers before it completely stopped. The relay part number was slightly different for our 2003 Camey. part # 90987-02022

i think it is due to thermostate failure if you replace that part your problem will be solve.
