Default AC compressor cycling on/off

My ac compressor continues to cycle on when ever I have the blower motor on. Its rather cold out here in Virginia so as you'd assume I have the heat on. Only to look down and the AC button will be illuminated and I can tell the compressor is cycling. If I try to press the AC button to shut it off it does nothing,at least for a solid minute or two.


I have not checked the freon pressure yet,im going to do that tomorrow just wanted to get a head start on other possible issues that could cause this.

Which setting is the airflow on when it's doing this? Windshield or Windshield / Floor?
Or does it do it all the time, regardless of setting?

It does it just about all the time on every setting.

It does it just about all the time? No offense sounds like you are guessing.

When you have the defrost on the A/C is going to come on whether you want it to or not.

Thanks for the override link!
