And to add one more comment....A colleague of mine here in the office just bought a used car, a 1998 Buick. The AC did not work. He took it to the repair place and was told that GM designed the system in those years so that it remained on continuously. The compressors are all failing at 30-50K miles. The new compressor that was installed operates the same way - runs all the time. The AC tech said he should shut it off every 1/2 hour when on a long drive to lengthen its life.

Maybe it's good that your system cycles.
