air conditioning problem

["Adam 16683" <acprice1@xxxx>]

Hello, I seem to have a problem with my air conditioning. When I turn 
it on the compressor turns on and off in about 3 second intervals, 
and my cooling fans activate with the compressor so they are also 
turning on and off every three seconds. Does this mean I need a 
coolant recharge or is this normal cycling? I could have sworn that 
last summer my fans were running constantly with the AC engaged.

thanks in advance for any and all info!
