[uchi]

I gut the auto button on the climate control this morning and the snow flake usually lights up but today it blinked a few times and turned of. I pressed the button fit it and same thing happened. what's happening with this thing now?

sorry phones auto feature its messing me up. the snow flake for the ac usually turns on when I hit the auto button but today it just blinked and shut of. I pressed it and it blinked again and sit of

I thought it was cold but its 4 degrees out

It is either too cold to engage the a/c and the computer is over rideing your a/c request, or it could be low on refrigerant and won't let it come on. I would try to get it somewhere warm, maybe in a garage for a while, let the truck thaw out, then start and try it. If it comes on it just too cold outside.

Either a problem with the system or its too cold. I noticed this with my wifes suv last winter

OK good to know thanks guys. in that case I won't worry about it until it gets hot out. thanks

Got an owners manual? If you don't, you can download one here.

 

From the manual.....

 

Air Conditioning

#(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn

the air conditioning (A/C) compressor on and

off. The snowflake symbol will appear on

the display when the A/C is on and will turn off

when the air conditioning is off.

Pressing this button when the outside temperature

is too cool for air conditioning will make the

snowflake symbol flash three times and then turn

off to let you know the air conditioning mode is

not available. If the air conditioning is on and the

outside temperature drops below a temperature

which is too cool for air conditioning to be effective,

the snowflake symbol will turn off to let you

know the air conditioning mode has been

canceled.

It's 8 degrees here this morning, the snowflake in my truck won't stay on either . The snowflakes are staying on the ground though.

i must have been at the temp where its either or, because its been as cold and its stayed on, although when i left work it was a few degrees warmer and it stayed on, and yes triple blink, good to know. thanks for the help guys. the dealer hasnt given me my manual yet they had to order one.

I don't feel so bad as it was a balmy 38 degrees. Going to drop though as we're expecting snow tomorrow.
