Default AC help

Hello all
I'm new to the forum and I've got something of a mystery with the AC system on my 06 f150, the problem, everytime I turn the AC on it'll click on for a couple of minutes then click off it will do this several times before staying on when it clicks on it blows cold when it stays on it blows ice cubes, here's what's been done to this point, replaced (with new not used or remaned) the compressor, air dryer, orifice tube, low pressure switch and climate control cluster, the system has been vacuumed down pressure tested double checked and recharged, question, is there a breaker or something else I may be overlooking? Any help would be greatly appreciated

What that means is the solenoid that engages the compressor clutch, it'll click on and off.

There is no "solenoid" in the A/C clutch circuit.

You have a clutch relay on box drivers fender its a light duty relay that tends to get flaky as the contacts burn . The gas pressure switches go to the pcm .the pcm determines when the clutch comes on . You also have a clutch space gap adjustment on clutch assembly . The gas pressure surge when engaging could cause pcm to drop relay out if charge not exactly correct .
