AC Problem

Today it was in the 70's in NC. Before I put the top down I was running the air conditioning (AC) in stop and go traffic. I noticed that the AC compressor seems to cycle on and off. When on and during slow acceleration from a stop, the fan (I think) makes a noise. I confirmed that the AC system is the problem by pushing the AC button and the noise stopped.

Anyone out there with this problem and possibly a solution? The noise is getting worse and it is aggravting. I hate the idea of the dealer taking my dash apart even if they know what they are doing.

If your ac is cycling ie the system was on the full ac mode and your pump was going on and off it could be 1 of many problems
1 not enough r134a refridgerant and the presures are too low in the system and the presure switch is turning the system offand on as the safety switch decides
2 the system is building up too much presure and the system safety switch is reading too hi and is shuting the system down
3 defective hi lo presure switch in ac system under hood
4 you had the system on defrost , the defrost cycle of your heater system cycles your ac system on and offf even when the system is on heat and the ac is off , you will hear the pump click on , and turn off in about 5 seconds . this is normal,. but check ac controls in your manual before youtake it to the dealer
this is just afew of many problems , coud be in the dash also
