AC Problem

It seems this issue is different than others I have found here.

I have a 99 Expy 2WD 5.4 engine. When I put the AC on cool it blows air (cabin temp or slightly cooler). When I put the AC setting to hot it will blow very hot air.

On regular vent setting it does the same. Today I went and listened and saw that when the AC is on, the AC pump that runs off the serpentine belt will run for 4-5 seconds, stop for 2-3 and then repeat the cycle. Is this normal?

I could hear a clicking sound when it engages under the glovebox. I punched it and it stopped.

I live in southern Ontario so in the summer it is nice to have the air but at least the heat works for the winter months.

Any ideas? Thanks

You are low on refrigerant due to a leak.
