A/C Light Blinks & then shuts off
We had our suburban serviced not even a week ago to get our condenser fix since it had a crack in it. For a couple days after the A/C worked great but now when you push the “snowflake” a/c button it blinks three times and shuts off with very moderate cold to warm air coming out. Did they install the new condenser wrong? Does it need some more coolant? Thanks

Sounds like you still have a refrigerant leak, as it worked OK at first after the repair.
Take it back to the shop and have them recover the R134a and weigh it, and compare that weight to the underhood sticker and to the ounces of R134a they added. Yes, a new condenser could be bad, GM SUVs and trucks of this era are known for that, or could be a leaky connection at the inlet or outlet connections of the condenser.
There should be no charge from the shop - you paid for a FIX !!! If the shop refuses, dispute the charge with your credit card company.
