Cool AC Lite switch blinks on and off

I recently picked up my SL500 from MB Service after putting in an ABC Pump. Now I notice that the light on the AC switch is on and when pushed it turns off only to blink and come back on?? Anyone know what this is or what's causing this??

Thanks, Lou

It's coming on because there is a fault in the A/C refrigerant circuit. There are 3 likely causes.

1) They have disconnected the A/C compressor signal wire or damaged it (highly likely as it's easy to leave disconnected)

2) They have disturbed some a/c lines and refrigerant has leaked out (unlikely)

3) They have left the pressure switch for the A/C disconnected (unlikely as not required to disturb unless they removed the oil resuviour for cleaning)

Send it back to the dealer to have rectified.

Contacted Service today

I told my service rep. about the issue and I have to bring it back in. We will see what they say. Good to have the info you provided though.

Thanks
