03 c230 kompressor. can I reset my ac light myself

or do I need the dealer to do it? I know later years can do it from the climate control with lcd but what about the standard panel?

background, if I jumper 12 volts the the kompressor it turns on and car gets cold. ac pressure is fine also but the light is constantly on. the only other thing I can think of is the pressure sensor but that is a lot of money to replace and evac/recharge the system if it isnt the problem.

thanks

Make use of the words kompressor and compressor carefully.....they mean different things on the M271.
That being said, if your AC compressor comes on only with a jumper, then the pressure switch probably needs replacement.
