The WIS seemed to imply the corrective action was to replace the sensor. Maybe moisture damages them. My record with let's wait and see if it fixes itself is pretty poor. YMMV 
Since moisture can often lead to corrosion I would have it replaced as soon as convenient.
Good luck.

Run the
OB diagnostics.
The ec light on means the ac compressor is not clicking on.
Could be anything from a sensor to low or no r134a in the system.
Run the diagnostics on the digital climate control module,punch the numbers into the program,post the numbers and errors here.
Then see if tossing in a can of r134a triggers the compressor to engage and locate the leak.
If all that is Greek to you
pm me and I can point the way.
to the solution.

Those are the status values for current conditions.
Did you do Part 2 - Error codes? Will show a b plus 4 digits
If you get E FF your done. Post Error (Trouble) codes.

See number
7?
01
your r134a has leaked over time( as all systems will eventually) down to the point of to low to operate.
add a can of r134a and have an ac shop use a sniffer to detect a leak.If no leak the r134a can be filled fully to weight properly.
Amount of R134a is listed on a tag over by the ECU in the engine compartment.

1241 is low refrigerant and 1416 is coolant pump malfunction. So as ohlord and others have suggested add a can of R134 and compressor should kick on and light go out. However, you may have a leak so have the system tested. A/C techs shouldn't be too busy this time of year.
BTW, at part 3 of that link you'll see a small link 'click here' in the text. That will take you to the next page which has the descriptions of all of the values both status and error.

Clear the codes
while in error mode press both auto buttons and clear the errors.
Most of them will never come back and you may be just brain froze in the climate control.
Post the data values after you run the diagnostics and errors again.

ac/heater gone crazy!!!
Was driving from Vegas to Los Angeles tonight and it was raining so i turn on the heater to clear up the windows and to keep myself warm. after about 20 minutes with the heater on low(1 bar) as i tried to turn it off the control panel showing OFF but the heater was blowing at HI and when i turn it back on all the way to HI the air was blowing LOW. Weird part was i was driving through GHOST TOWN lol but i doubt that was it so i pulled over on the hwy and turn of my car and everything back to normal.. Has this happen to anyone else? Is it telling me my blower needs replacement soon?

ac trouble
I replaced the motor blower regulator on my 97 e320 on Saturday. At first the ac was blowing fine with cold air but after a few minutes just warm air. I thought that mabey I needed to put some coolent in but when I tried the gauge went all the way to red indicating an electrical problem any suggestions? the diy on the regulator was great!

Did you run
the diagnostics?
Did you post the values and error from running the onboard diagnostics?
Post them if not and then we can proceed

You only need to
post 1-8 and tossing in 2.5 cans into a system that is low and still shows 00 on the pressure side indicates a major leak.
Get it to a qualified a/c shop.
Have the system evacuated,pressurized and leak tested. Once they locate and repair the leak they will flush,change drier,evac it again and fill with the proper amount of r134a and oil.This one is over your head and also over your supply of the correct pumps,gauges,and scales to do properly.
you also might want to make sure your outside temp sensor is plugged in since I doubt it is over 100f where you are.

Tried one last time before sending it away. Cleared the codes and EC went light went off. Put in the r134a and it started blasting with cold air. Used the AC all weekend and havent had any issues. I'm periodically checking #7 to see if there's any leaks. So far so good.
