Is it possible to repair shortages in the Compressor without replacing the whole thing?

@Ashwest71 Have you gotten every part of the system checked out? I don't know a whole lot but based on what you said I'd get the evaporator checked out by a professional. That's the part that gets cold and has a fan blow across it to bring cold air into your car.

My compressor kicks when the A/C is turned on but it does not cool. I have had it charged with refrigerant but no dice. What seems to be the problem? Anyone?

@willowst91 If it cycles that frequently it often indicates insufficient refrigerant charge. According the to the Ford shop manual, an air conditioning compressor in a normally functioning system should cycle on and off about 4-5 times per minute.
