I have a problem with the A.C. switching on and off, not maintaining a constant comfortable temperature.

Here's the situation: I've got the snowflake light lit (A/C on) and it's 60 Degrees outside, but the sun is shining and so the car is over 70 degrees inside. With the inside temp set at 68, the A.C. won't come on unless I drop the desired temp down to 63 degrees. When it gets too cold, I bump it back up to 68, and it's OK for a while, but then it gets muggy because the AC compressor shuts off (snow flake light still lit). It would seem that it would be better if the compressor stayed on, and the temp was adjusted by increasing or decreasong the amount of heat mix with the A.C.

Anyone have a fix for this, or is that just how it works?

Thanks
