Low refrigerant which means you have a leak that must be repaired.

There's no Freon in this system. Freon hasn't been used for a dozen years in new vehicles.

yea, 1993 was the last year freon was used. by adding some refrigerant (the correct type) the ac compressor should stop turning on and off........If its a bad leak that requires you to keep adding refrigerant every few months you need to have it repaired, ford had a recall on the seals in the line conections which leaked, Its that the problem it will be an inexpensive repair

You could do a retro fit.

But "Freon" is still available.

Your first step is to have the pressures read.
Without knowing them you are shooting in the dark.
