A/C Compressor on when HVAC displays off and Off when hvac displays On

[03YukonNH]

So I thought I had a compressor problem because when I pressed the A/C (snowflake) button on the HVAC controller, the A/C compressor would not come on. I could hear the compressor clicking but it was not coming on. Well come to find out, the compressor actually comes on when the A/C is turned off and stops running when the A/C is turned on (snowflake displays on LCD screen on dash). Basically the system is just working opposite of the way it should. Has anybody had this problem before? I have tried resetting the system by disconnecting the battery and holding the positive and negative cables together. I also pulled the fuse for the A/C under the hood and left it out for about 10 minutes. I then put the fuse back in and started the car. Any help would be appreciated.

Mine does this as well but if you look closely at the display when the snowflake is there, mine shows a line thru like the a/c is actually off

Thanks for the response. I guess it helps to read the owners manual. I looked into it this afternoon and it stated the snowflake has a line thru it and actually means the a/c is off. Kind of counterintuitive since you would assume the snowflake display means A/C is on. The line thru the flake is not easy to see.
