    I have searched the group and found what I thought was the solution for
    my blinking light problem. However...I only have the AC Light and the
    Recirculate light that blinks.

    When I run the diagnostic as you all have suggested..it seems to
    follow through and turn the lights off. However upon exit of the
    diagnostic...the lights begin to blink again immediately. If I run the
    car with the blower on for about 15 minutes...the lights will go out.
    They will start again when I turn the car off and start it again.

    Functions controlled by all push buttons work wether the lights are
    blinking or not. The other lights do not work while the 2 are
    blinking...but will work when the 2 quit blinking. The previous owner
    stated that this problem began when water dripped on the passengar side
    floor mat. I have determined that this "water" came from the
    evaporator. Does any one have any insight or ideas ?????

    You are failing the cooldown test.....either from poor A/C performance
    or a failed (evaporator) fin temp sensor. If trouble started with water
    from the evaporator into passenger compartment, indicating a plugged
    drain, then the fin temp sensor is likely culprit. Does the A/C seem to
    work normally?

    If the engine is not at operating temp or your a/c is not putting out cold
    air the test will fail everytime.
