Use a meter or test light to see if the AC switch is shorted internally.

is it set to defrost?

Many cars are programmed to do that intentionally now. It removes moisture from the cabin air.

I understand the ac compressor runs to remove moisture but the actual a/c light on the switch comes on when I start the car. As if after I start the car I would want to start the a/c so I would push the a/c button. Well now, when I start the car it is already on. So every time I start it I have to push the button to the off position.
