Cycling fast typically means low on refrigerant, but if there is a blockage I know there is a High side cut off..
As for the compressor cycling in the off position, it could be a bad Programmer found down by the accelerator pedal.
So: when completely off does the Compressor cycle? if so, then I doubt it is the A/C Head unit and would lean towards the programmer.. but I don't suggest throwing parts at it yet.
IF time allows I will look at my 96 FSM tonight as well
The static ac check was to verify that the system has refrigerant. All the data I read stated that with the vehicle off a properly charged system will have 50psi or greater in the system. So the static check in my opinion at least verifies the system is charged. This car sat for 18 months, if it has 50psi like the book says it's not leaking!
The head was already taken apart and cleaned so that's not the issue.
The battery disconnected but not cycled like you described above.
When you say OFF, do you mean the car being off or the Ac set to the OFF button?
If you mean the CAR OFF, then nothing works.
If you mean the AC OFF Button engaged then in this position YES, the clutch cycles and in only the OFF position do I get the condensation since the clutch is cycling.
