It is low of refrigerant which means you have a leak that needs repair. After the repair the unit needs to be recharged.

Is it normal for a air compressor for the air shocks to frequently run while driving in a 1996 Lincoln Continental?

Yes, every once in a while while driving your air compressor will kick on. If it seems to be running nonstop there is a problem. You would have a hole in one of your air bags if your compressor runs nonstop. Hope this helps.


Would low coolant pressure on a 1993 Chevrolet 350 G20 van cause the AC compressor to cycle on and off?

no.the a/c system is probably low on freon


What would cause an ac compressor to cycle on and off repeatedly on a 2000 dodge ram?

The ac system is probably low on charge. You may have a leak in the system and have lost most of the 134R gas.


Why does car ac compressor short cycle?

It could be several reasons. First, the freon level may be low. I would have the freon pressure checked first, or you can do yourself. Second, you could have a bad compressor sensor. Third, the compressor itself could be bad or you could have bad expansion valve. All could cause short cycling.


How would the compressor housing feel when a unit has an overcharge of refrigerant?

A refrigerant compressor will be hot when running whether or not the charge is too high or too low. If the charge is too low, the compressor will cycle on and off. If too high the compressor may not run at all.


What would cause a squealing noise when the ac is turned on?

check a/c compressor and belt.


Would your airmatic relay cause your car to lower while its parked?

This is not the cause, this relay is to start the and run the compressor (Basically) and it will not cause the system to lower overnight.

it went out because fords are junk.


If my Condenser fan didn't work for a day could that ruin my air conditioner?

Yes it would cause your compressor needs that fan to cool down the refrigerant going through your condensing coils.. Without that fan it would cause high head pressure and damage the compressor as well..


What would cause the AC compressor of a 2005 Toyota Tacoma not to turn on besides a fuse?

Check the Freon pressure first. The AC compressor will not turn on if the Freon pressure is too low.

Would low refrigerant pressure cause the air conditioning compressor on your 1993 Chevrolet G20 van to cycle on and off?

Absolutely, in fact, if the AC compressor is cycling like that, low pressure is about the ONLY thing that can cause it. There is a pressure sensor in the low pressure side of the AC system. When the pressure drops too far it turns off the compressor to prevent damage. As the compressor runs it pulls refrigerant from the low side, compresses it and sends it to the condenser where it is cooled. When that happens there is less refrigerant available to the low side. There is no point in running a compressor if there is nothing left on the low side to compress, so it shuts down. After enough refrigerant works past the orifice and into the low side again, the low side pressure builds up and the compressor restarts.
