i read some of the q and a's already but they were for newer model camry's than mine. the ac light flashes after about 2-3 seconds, but sometimes the ac will work. its an on and off thing. when it works it gets really cold. does my model have the filter behind the glove box as well?

thank you

Hi Melissak27,

The A/C switch light flashing intermittently could mean the A/C compressor is not engaging. Get the high and low pressure readings by following this video.
