The button turns on and off? Or the AC turns on and off?

The button will turn on and off while you are driving. the fan will still blow but the cooling will shut off when the button turns off. i will send a picture if you like.

Have the pressure switches been tested?
What are the gauge readings?
I will need as much info as possible to be able to help you.
