Default COOLING PROBLEMS AND air compressor problems

Hey Vet friends I need some help on my 98 over 100,xxx mile vet. Recently I just finished changing out my A/C actuators.They now blow out cold air fine, when the car is on the highway and the temps about at 207-220 or lower.

But Thats after i turn the A/C on and off a couple of times.I said that because when the car is just starting the a/c light repeat itself by going off and on.I can also hear my air compressor clicking on and off while thats is happening.The air compressor also make a loud sqeaking sound like a lose belt or something.So please help vet nation I do need help and Thanks.
