Why would your ac compressor lock up when the switch is turned on in your 1997 ford ranger?

The air conditioner compressor is made of several parts that need to move to circulate the refrigerant through the system. There is the pully, shaft, bearings and lifters or pistons inside of the compressor, the compressor motor has a clutch. When the belt on the engine turns it turns the shaft on the compressor which is held in place by bearings, the shaft moves the lifters to circulate the refrigerant - the most likely cause for a compressor to lock up is missing or misaligned bearings. Other possible causes, belt loose or not on properly, shaft bent, compressor motor not working correctly or clutch worn, pully stuck. Generally you would have to replace the ac because of how the serpentine belt is threaded onto the engine. Check to see if you can bypass the pully by getting a smaller belt, but it is important that the belt be threaded right for all the other engine parts to move correctly. The ac compressor usually runs about 2 - 4 hundred dollars new. You can also get rebuilt ones or go to a reputable junk yard for a replacement one.


Could a brake booster that is leaking air cause the air pump compressor to go bad?

I am assuming you are referring to a spring brake assembly on air equipped vehicles. If this is the case, normally a leaking chamber would not cause an air compressor to go bad. Some causes for air compressors not to build pressure are: defective air governor, restricted air intake and discharge hose (hose from compressor to air dryer or air tank), bad check valve at dryer or tank, leaking discharge hose (mainly the cloth covered-Aeroquip-spray soapy water at hose with engine running, if it bubbles hose is leaking thru the cover), unloader valve at compressor and some other. The ones I mentiond here are probably the most common.

What causes the air conditioning to go on and off?

More than likely it is short on charge. Best to turn it off until the problem whatever it turns out to be is corrected. Short cycling is not good for the compressor.
