2002 Toyota Prius: A/C Green Light Blinking?

The A/C functions and runs for few minutes then Stops blowing cold air and Green light starts flashing.

The Compressor in this Car model Gets operated by Magnetic clutch.

The A/C light flashes because the Magnetic clutch is not spinning the compressor when it is commanded to. This can be anything from a bad relay to a wiring issue.
Or it can also be faulty Compressor or Magnetic clutch itself.In some cases it was faulty relay.

Swap the CLR MG relay with the horn relay and see if the problem goes away.
If it goes away then relay is the issue.But if problem is same as before then by pass the relay and give direct 12 volt to clutch and see if the compressor operates fine.If it operates then its short or loose wiring.But if compressor still not operating as required,then its faulty/ weak compressor.Should be tested by professor CAR AC repair tech before replacing.

This details will help.
Thanks.

2004 Toyota Tundra: Water leaks Behind A/C Compressor?

Please reconfirm the leak,is it water or a coolant leak.

More than likely what you're going to find based on the description of the location is the water pump is starting to leak. This is a fairly common area for this leakage of coolant. Even if there's no pressure in the system it will eventually cause a trail of coolant down the side of the block by the air conditioning compressor. If you have a pressure test or ideally would be a good idea to pressure the system and then check for further leakage.

This will help.
Thanks.
