What could be the problem. My Air conditioner light is blinking and only hot air coming out

It's probably low on freon, try adding some using a recharge kit available from autoparts stores, it could also be a problem with the a/c magnetic clutch relay located in the fuse box under the hood.

My A/C compressor shuts off after an hour (sometimes longer) of driving on a hot day.

Look under the car when it stops and after the engine is turned off, do you see a lot of water dripping under the car on the passenger side? If so the AC evaporator core is freezing up and the pressure switch is defective. If scenario this is not the case then you may have either a sticking compressor magnetic clutch relay or the magnetic clutch closing coil is shorted when it is hot.

My 2002 Expedition air conditioner will sometimes blow hot air and others cold air

I would check the following possibilities:
1. Is compressor clutch working? - You need to do this when the ac is blowing hot air only - locate compressor drive pulley on engine - rubber belt wraps around it. Start engine and set to max ac. When the ac is blowing hot air, look at the center of the compressor drive pulley using a good flash light - watch it for a while, it should be spinning with the pulley - this means the compressor is engaged. If not, the compressor is not engaged. If your ac is blowing hot air, then the compressor should be engaged and running (trying to cool). If it is not engaged, then your compressor clutch is probably going out. Could be low voltage to clutch, but more likely the clutch is worn out and only working some of the time. Note: if working normally, the compressor clutch will engage and disengage in cycles- but the air should always be cold. If clutch is bad, compressor would need to be replaced (sold as one unit). This is tricky to diagnose and could take some time - you need to do it when ac is blowing hot air but set to max cooling.

2. Low on refrigerant or refrigerant has moisture in it? If your ac blows cold initially after being off for a while, then heats up, and continues to regularly cycle back and forth between hot and cool air, then the system may be low on refrigerant or the refrigerant may have moisture in it that is freezing and restricting refrigerant flow. An a/c shop can check refrigerant level and even replace refrigerant if moisture is suspected.

Could be other issues, but I would start with these.

Good luck

I have a 2002 mitsubishi eclipse and the a/c light started flashing and it only blows hot air. I already put some more air coolant and it still does not work.

scan it.it could be AC clutch relay -AC refrigerant pressure sensor low input - AC refrigerant pressure sensor high input.

A/C blows hot air. 2004 Corolla SE

You may need to recharge your AC. The AC clutch relay seems to be a high failure item for this car. You can test by swapping relays under the hood. The AC clutch relay is located next to the negative battery post in the fuse box under the hood on the driver's side fender. It is the smaller relay marked "M/G CLT". This is available from Rockauto.com, $11.
