Help me with air conditioner its over a hundred degrees right now, my 2001 c5 air conditioner switch shuts off within 1 to 2 seconds after pushing it. compressor does not engage, ran codes, hvac had no trouble codes listed. i went to the lacr drags ran 4 times , final weekend there closing track forever, took off my air condition belt on fri put it back on monday and had the problem immediately, removed it twice b4, never a problem b4 . tried to check r12 level ,gauge read deep into the red danger zone but that was with out the compressor coming on ?

I have the same exact problem with my 03 vert. the AC light blinks for 3 seconds and then goes out. I haven't touched anything so i doubt it is a short. I guess i'll have it recharged and see if that works.
