Question AC Compressor habitual click...

Real quick, just remembered my AC Compressor clicks every 5-10 seconds but I filled it with freon last year, checked it with the gauge recently and it says "filled" so what could be the problem?

I use the AC only on the highway.
Sometimes around town if outside temps are too high and if humidity is a b1tch.

Blows very cold too, only clicks when I turn on the compressor, not the fan.

Man, the top sticky is what you need. It has almost all of the AC stuff in it. Likely your clutch. If your system held the freon for 12 months you did good. I think it's a little low on freon, it usually does that when it's a little low.
