There have been two occurrences where the air conditioning has stopped blowing cold air (blows warm) and the indicator led on the switch is blinking on and off. This has happpened twice, about a month apart. The air is generally plenty cold. Does anyone know if this means the air is going out on my 2002 camry ?

I don't think it is the freon or filter because that would not explain the issue with the light or the air alternating between warm and cold. It is most likely a more operational part of the AC unit like the compressor as lininator515 stated his problem was. Good luck.
pop the switch out and bypass it with a wire and alligator clips or what have you. and let it run all the time. If it blows cold all the time, change the switch.
I am a certified A/C refrigerant license and if running out of freon were the problem, it would blow cold air only on the following occasions, = NEVER.
So maybe your a/c belt is loose, or the switch, or another electrical issue is my guess from here.

Check your Service Manual. On the '07, you can display the DTC code right on the A/C display.

toyotechwv vbmenu_register("postmenu_1672225", true); you were right on about the A/C relay... MG CLT Relay (I assume that means magnetic clutch relay for the compressor). Just for troubleshooting purposes I swapped the DRL #2 relay with the MG CLT relay and the ac firied right when i started the car...Now I have cold air but no high beam lights at night... Ill have to find a relay somewhere..
Thanks for everyones help and input.

I had the same issue occur last week Oct 03 2007. A/C light was flashing with no cold air. My camry is an 07 xle v6 with a July 2007 build date with only 710 miles on the Odometer. I took it to the dealership first thing in the morning and they gave me the car back 30 minutes later fixed. All they did was replace the MG CLT Relay.
The 07 I cant help you with for now, but I will keep you posted.
The part number for 02 through 06 camry is TO90987-02028.
Keep in mind the need for this part was more than the vendor could handle, so these relays were on back order for most of the summer. Availability may be better now. Check it out at your local dealer. The part is cheap, $50 give or take $10 depending on your region.
Hope this helps. BTW this is a updated part number, so they have identified the problem with the old relay and fixed it. Make sure that you don't settle for the old part number.

it is the MG clutch relay
This same blinking light happen to me today and I changed the relay in the fuse box next to battery. It is a white relay. part number 90987-02022. went to dealer and charged me $64 for the part. they have changed the part to 90987-02028 now. I repalce it and worked like a charm. only regret was I could have bought the comparable relay at advance auto parts online for $14. Sucks.

Blinking AC Light
Happens on wifes 02 Camry when the "Cabin Filter" gets dirty. (behind Glove Box). It is very easy to get to and replace. Open Glove box. Empty Glove Box. Take out phillips screw on dampener connection on the right of box. Squeeze together sides of glove box, and lower portion of box, that hinges on bottom comes off. Filter is on inside firewall. Light on AC will not stop immediately but only after a few starts and restarts over a few days. Or you could have the light reset at a Autozone for free by having them loan you a tool. Or disconnect the battery for 30 minutes, and put back on. Then you would have to reset the radio stations, and may notice the car idle being reset for the first few starts. But it works. CABIN FILTER , bought at Kragens or Autozone for around $21.

Relay Fixed it !!!! No flashing Light
Everyone was correct, even though I have a new Cabin Filter, and thought that was the only reason I would see the AC light flash, the Relay Fixed the problem.
Would have ordered the 16.99 one from Advance Autoparts, but they were OUT OF STOCK.
I did not want to spend, now >$70 at the dealer for this relay. And the junk yards had too many old cars.
I went to Autozone, where the had the Santech AC Relay. MT0610 for $27.99 with tax and FED EX Delivery to the store it was $30.30.
Plugged the thing in at Autozone, and the ride home was AC LIGHT FLASHING FREE.
This is an engineered replacement part from China.
THanks all for the great information!! 2002 Camry now fixed.

I had the same problem this week. Replaced the A/C Relay with "A/C Relay Fctry" from Advance Auto Parts for $14.
But it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
The A/C will go full blast for a while, but then the "green flashing death light" starts in again.
Did I get a bum part, or is there possibly some other problem?
(P.S. I already replaced the air filter).
