    Hello All
    i have a 2016 Tundra, my A/C LIGHT started flashing and blowing warm air, this is my 2nd Tundra my first was a 2008 never had this happen before. I have replaced the MG clutch relay under the hood today and the compressor kicks in and it starts to blow cold air but kicks out and light flashes again, it worked fine the other day and seems to be ok for a few seconds at first.
    any idea's??

    Have you checked the refrigerant charge? It sounds like it's low and the low pressure switch is turning off the compressor. The pressure on the low side drops significantly when the compressor kicks in. It'll run for a short period of time, the pressure drops too low, the compressor stops, the pressure goes back up, the compressor kicks back in, the pressure drops too low, and so on.
