The AC cycles itself on and off rapidly, and the air blows less cool.

Highly against the law to discharge ac . The ac must me evacuated with a reclaimer machine. Any auto shop or junk yard will do it for a reasonable fee.If the ac has leaked off by itself it can be opened, if not you do not want to release the cfc into the atmosphere $10,000 fine.

I am having the same problem. Brought it to an AC specialist and they told me it was my heating/AC panel switch that was going bad. The clutch would not stay engaged because the AC on/off switch was bad.
Low refrigerant charge
A resistor, by itself, can not convert DC into AC.
