Compressor cycle is an indicator of freon level BUT
you have to consider the ambient temperature.  Dont
assume that because it cycles that there is a problem.
 Go ahead and check the temperature anyway.

problem with the actuators or doors in the heater

With the SpecialT fan fix, I think the light is
supposed to come on with the fans... the fans come on
with the compressor, so this sounds OK.
