The refrigerant level is probably low. When the compressor turns on it pulls refrigerant from the low side and as soon as the low side pressure drops below a certain point, the sensor disengages the AC clutch. If you haven't already converted your AC to 134A, now would be a good time. All vehicle AC compressors leak a little refrigerant, simply because of the design of the system. The system may not have any serious problems even though it has lost a little pressure.

Why does the ac compressor turn off after about 5 seconds?
There are several things that can cause your air conditioning compressor to turn off after five seconds. The most common cause is a lack of Freon pressure. Check your air conditioning hoses for a leak.

Bad low pressure switch or low on freon if in AC mode, If in Defroster mode the AC comp cycles off and on the prevent to hot of air hitting a frozen windshield to prevent cracking

Does it sound like something is running in the rear? If so that is the air compressor located above drivers side rear tire. It is for the rear shocks.
What would cause the air conditioning to cycle on-off every 10 seconds in a 2000 Ford Ranger 5 spd V6 3.0L engine?
The compressor cycling on-off is usually an indication of low refrigerant level, which in turn means that there is a leak in the system somewhere.
What is the cause of a very obnoxious squeal on '94 Ford 460 when first running engine for 30 seconds or so?
I would suspect a worn or loose drive belt. Can also be an alternator or A/C compressor bearing failing.
Why is the compressor unit on a 2000 Chevy tracker continually kicks on and off when we try to use the air conditioning?
Most likely there is a freon leak or it is empty of freon. If this is not the case then you probably have to replace a sensor that is overloadingas soon as power reaches it.( this usually happens in 2-5 seconds)
