On my 1999 Intrepid ES, the air conditioner compressor cycles about every 15-20 seconds (making a slight hissing sound as the a/c clutch engages). Is this a normal cycle time? The factory service manual doesn't specify how often the a/c should cycle. To me, it seems a bit too frequent and will cause premature wear, but perhaps this is the design cycle frequency?
