i have a 91 chevy 1500 and my a/c light is blinking. i know that this means that it doesent have freeon, but mine is fully charged and has no leaks. i pulled a vacuum on it to make sure. i can unplug my control panel unit and plug it back in and it will work for a minute or two (and run really cold). then the a/c light will blink again. and i dont know what the problem is now... HELP?!
