The A/C is supposed to cycle on and off and this is normal. If however it is cycling on and off very quickly or seems to not be cooling as it should, it more than likely has a leak and is low of refrigerant. Take it to a professional, have the leak repaired, and the system recharged.
The AC compressor in your car may not kick on due to issues such as low refrigerant levels, a faulty compressor clutch, electrical problems, or a malfunctioning pressure switch. It is recommended to have a professional mechanic diagnose and repair the issue.
