Intermittent AC light flashing does not occur with my hood open

Hey guys

I’ve for a while known of the issues that can cause this problem (bad relay which I’ve swapped more than once) and the pickup sensor on the compressor going bad BUT I’ve recently noticed if my truck is running but the hoods opened it will not start flashing.
Any ideas? Could the issue be related to high temperatures in the engine bay?

Thanks

Have a look at the compressor clutch. Does it appear to have rubber bubbled up....

 

Do you have anything aftermarket installed like a alarm ?

 

No I do not. This problems been intermittent for a few Years now I will def look for bubbles on the sensor I mean I obviously need to swap it out but I just thought how weird it was staying on wirh the hood opened

 

Look at the compressor clutch coil to see if the rubber has been overheated and bubbled. You may just need a new AC Clutch Assembly.

 

I 2nd the AC clutch probably it

 

I think since I’m having other problems with my A/C i should throw in a new compressor since I’m already replacing the expansion valve as
Well as the discharge hose
