It could be the low pressure switch or it could be a low charge in the system that, while still enough to cool, is not high enough to trigger the low pressure switch.

I went to my friends shop and he sai if he remembers correctly when he recharged the ac system in 2008. The low pressure cycle switch looked like it was dirty, he said that more than likely that is what is causing my problom.
