AC compressor cycles on and off 1987 even after charging
AC Compressor cycles on and off on 1987 c-10 I just bought. Charged with UV but no visible leaks and still cycling on and off. Next step?

Some A/C units cycle and some dont. All that really matters is that the cool air temp at the outlets is between 38 and 45 degrees F or so when driving.

if the compressor short cycles, on and off every 15 seconds...the system probably has a low charge. have the system recovered and if the recovered amount it low...it either wasn't filled to the proper level or you have a leak.
