This is normal, I believe. The condenser clicks on and off to remove the moisture in the air, whether you have the temp set to cold or hot. Mine does the same thing.

Yeah, on any vehicle that I have ever heard of the A/C automatically kicks on whenever the defrosters are turned on.

Say it with me ... compressor.

It's the pump for your A/C system ... perfectly normal.
