Weird Problem
 
A few months ago, the "e-brake" light began lighting periodically when driving. When this is lighted, the AC no longer blows cold. Fan works, but no cold air. Brake fluid level is OK. No issue with freon, as the AC later begins blowing cold when the e-brake light goes back off. This is now happening with increasing frequency.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated

Try tightening down the e-brake cable and checking the ABS and connections around the brakes

what year & model? if it's before ~07 there are more and more users with what could be corrosion problems on the PJB connectors (fuse block under the glove box), it takes a few years for the corrosion to play havoc on those.

Its a 2007. When I get back in a week I'll check into all that. I unplugged the battery and let it sit. Seems ok for now. But if it corrosion it will do it again. Thanks guys for your help. I'll post when I find out what it its.

Well i check the PBJ (pulled completly out) and all the connectors and also checked everything else. I didnt notice any corrosion. Now it goes like this. At random times in this order. The CD player display goes out and shows nothing but the time. Then the e-brake light comes on and the A/C goes out then seconds later the airbag light comes on. Then at its choosing they go off in reverse order with A/C coming back on after the e-brake light goes off. And most off the time the display stays off. so it makes wanna think it would be were all though met but I am not sure were to start. Ideas?
