You're most likely low on refrigerant,to check it just turn on you ac then go look at your ac compressor pulley if it engages and disengages constantly that means your most likely low on refrigerant.

Does this occur when humidity is high?

An occasional problem on this vehicle is failure of the A/C Compressor Clutch Relay. Failure of the A/C Relay will cause the A/C light to flash when the A/C is turned on and the A/C will not cool. The cost to replace the A/C Compressor Clutch Relay is estimated at $60.00 for parts and $13.00 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65.00 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.

Bringing back this thread via the "Search" function. So I have a similar problem that hopefully someone can help with.

I got a 99 SLE SC'd. My AC light turns on (does not blink), and it does not sound like my compressor is turning on.

I recently installed my SC, and the belt still feels tight. Never recharged the refrigerant, so its possible that might be the issue. I dont want to recharge it yet until I due my due diligence in finding the real issue.

Does the compressor stay OFF when there is low/no refrigerant?

Where should I start to find where the problem lies?

Which one is the ac compressor pulley?

I'm roasting in this So. Cali (IE) heat!!!

Ok Cali, the compressor is located directly under your alternator and you can see the pulley turn when your comp. clutch engages. Start there, see if our compressor clutch is kicking in when your AC is turned on. If your car has no refrigerant the compressor will cycle constantly when your AC is turned on. Otherwise you have some other problem. If it doesn't cycle at all then you either have a dead circuit (check fuses and plugs) or a failing clutch (not enough friction material to turn the pulley).
Or something else may be wrong. (?)
Hope that answers your questions.
