Why does your air compressor cut on and off when you have the heat on?
When you have the heat on and select defrost / demist position to clear your windows , the air conditioning compressor cycles on and off to help de-humidify the air - at least that's the way it is on my 1995.

Why does compressor on air conditionr shut on and off when sitting idol?
an automotive AC has a thermostatic switch that cycles the compressor on and off in order to control the temperature within the evaporator core and keep it within a certain range, much like the thermostatic switch in a refridgerator.
Why is my automobile air conditioning low pressure and high pressure equalized - low pressure is too high?
Either the compressor is not on, or is not working. The pressures are supposed to equalize when it kicks off- either when you turn it off or when it cycles and cuts itself off for a minute. If the compressor is on and engaged and you are still reading equal pressures, it has gone out.

Why would a 95 Ford Explorer AC cyle on and off when the switch is in defrost or heater position?
On my 1995 Ford Explorer when the defrost position is selected , and the temperature knob is set in the red area to get heated air to defrost the windshield , the A/C compressor will cycle on and off to help dehumidify the air, but the compressor ONLY cycles on and off in the DEFROST POSITION ( sorry if I'm misinterpretting your question )
Signs of bad air cond compressor ford focus?
Things to check first: Turn on the A/C control - open the hood and look at the compressor and observe whether or not the clutch is engaging (clicking on and off). If it isn't then check the fuse/electric relay that control the compressor. If the compressor operates but cycles rapidly (clicks on and off), that could be a sign of low refrigerant, have it checked. If these easy do-it-yourself checks are inconclusive then you need a mechanic.
