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.

What is wrong if the compressor will not cut off in a central air?
Most likely, it is a stuck contactor or relay that controls the compressor motor. If the compressor continues to run after the blower inside the house has shut off, the only way to stop it is to kill the power, either at a dedicated switch or sub-panel for the air conditioning, or at your main breaker panel. Turn off the power to the air conditioning and furnace system until you can have the unit serviced.

You refer to the heat being cut on, is the blower blowing also and if so it may electrical related like a alternator or battery going bad and the extra load of the blower on th elctrical system may be killing the engine. The other thing that just came to mind is the air conditioning compressors fail and lock up on these vehicels, if the compressor is locking down it may be killing the engine, the compressor does come on with heater operation
