Not exactly. I can cycle, from my admittedly very limited understanding, it has to do with refrigerant pressure, which is related to the ambient temps. Basically, if it's not that warm outside and there isn't a large heat load on the system, the low side pressure drops below the cutoff of the low pressure switch, and the compressor kicks off. As the refrigerant warms up, pressure rises, and compressor kicks on. Likewise, if the high side pressures are too high, the high pressure switch will shut the compressor off. If I'm wrong about these concepts, I hope someone here will correct me.It isn't supposed to cycle while running, sounds like your AC is working as advertised.
Recently had my ac charged on my 92’ c1500. Runs nice and cold as it should but the clutch doesn’t cycle. When ac is turned on the clutch engages and stays engaged. Any ideas ?
True. Cheap and very easy to do. I replaced mine when I rebuilt the leaking components of the system in my truck. Literally, unplug the wire, remove, replace, profit. Should take less then 5 mins. Cost is about $20.An easy switch replacement is the low pressure switch at the accumulator. No need to open system and is relatively cheap. If don't have gauges, start there.
