All automotive air conditioner compressors work by going on and off. That is how they control the temperature. If they are mostly off, they make it warmer. If they are mostly on, they make it colder. The fact that it is on an Impala has nothing to do with it. The fact that it is an automobile air conditioner compressor has everything to do with it. Something would be wrong if it was not going on and off.

Why does your ac unit not cycle off and on?
Bad compressor
2003 Taurus starts chirping when the ac is on When I turn it off it goes away - what could cause this?
From what I know, the A/C compressor is going bad. The accessory belt turns the compressor, and in your car, that part of the compressor is going bad, so the belt meets too much resistance; hence the squeaking. Had this happen to my car, too.

Why does the compressor run after turning off 1994 SSE Bonneville?
I would like the answer to this question also. AnswerWhen you say "after turning off 1994...", I'm assuming you mean turning off the A/C. The clutch on the compressor might be stuck, or the relay that controls it may be sticking. Try pulling the fuse or unplugging the compressor connector and seeing what it does. If it still runs, you've got a bad clutch on the compressor. IF YOU PULL THE CONNECTOR AT THE COMPRESSOR, MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS OFF BEFORE YOU DO. Don't blame me if you get hung up in the belt.
