    A/C works and stops. After pushing the A/C button one or two times it works again. I have had it diagnosis and was told that everything was OK. But it is still sometimes doing the same thing.

    Try spraying the A/C button with WD-40--it often solves problems like this.

    My 2002 Toyota Camry A/C runs and then light flashes and it stops. After pushing A/C button several times it works and my run for hours then the same thing happens again. Had a diagnosis done they only said it need to be recharged. Worked great for two days took it back still nothing was found.

    The button pushes in and out fine.

    Yes, it helps to dissolve body oils that interfere with the contacts. I've had this situation before and it has worked for me.

    When they did the recharge, did they add any dye for future diagnosis?
    It sounds to me as if your a/c system has a tiny leak. If so, the best way to trace it is with a fluorescent dye.
