If I have my ac on for a while the light starts to blink and my ac stops working. I have read on another forum that this is from a slip sensor on the ac compressor, but this was for a different model Toyota (03 Camry). Has anybody had to deal with this on their celi?

I have a 88 celica and I found it to be that the compressor's magnetic clutch went bad. So I replaced both because the magnetic clutch couldn't be bought seperately, and haven't had a problem since. If I remember right, the compressor was the same for 3s-fe and 5s-fe engines. I purchased it on ebay for 100.00 bucks and it was a new not refurbished compressor!

Djkurious is right. You need to replace your a/c compressor.

Yeah the ac compressor fits the 2S-E, 3S-FE, 3S-GE, and 5S-FE.

I think I will take it to a shop first and have them look at it before I buy anything.

It happens. The AC is blinking out an error code ?

> I have read on another forum that this is from a slip sensor on the ac compressor,

Could be, easily could be a leak though ??
Got the manuals ? They may list the error codes. Worth it to take a look.
They are on Celica.tech. Or break down and buy the paper manuals.
They are Worth every penny, just for instances like this.

I have the Toyota, Haydens, and Chiltons manuals. None of them talk about the error codes. Ill take a look on celicatech.com and try to find the codes.

those $100 ebay ones are usually chinese ****, i've seen a few grenade and lockup. its not pretty, sends metal shavings through the whole AC system....and thats a real bear to get flushed out. once metal debris gets in, its impossible to get it all out and any bit of metal will ruin the new compressor.

be sure to install an inline filter with the new compressor just incase the failing one left metal in the system, this will save the new compressor!
