AC System Problems 900 1995

The compressor quits cycling when I depress the AC-OFF switch (lit). Which is how I drive it now because I get annoyed with the AC switching on and off.

A little more history. I have not had the car very long. At one point I took it to the dealer to have him do a vehicle inspection. On item stated that the compressor cycles on and off and therefore the AC need servicing/charging. I had not really noticed that before he mentioned it. Since then I noticed that it is true the AC cycles on and off all the time. I normally like to drive with the Fan and Position switch in the Auto mode. I set the temperature at 72 degrees. With the car in these positions the AC continuously cycles on and off. Since this has gotten annoying I now drive with the AC-Off button depressed. This has stopped my AC from cycling.

Normal day would be that I start the car in the morning cold (cold here is about 45deg F). All ECC controls set auto, auto, 72 deg. When the car is started the air blows gently through the system. When the engine begins to warm up, the Fan on the ECC goes to high and starts blowing warm air throughout the car. When the air in the car reaches the proper temperature the fan slows back down to have a nice gentle breeze of warm air blowing through the vents. During all of this time the AC cycles on and off, unless I depress the AC off button.
