Vauxhall Tigra car engine cuts out when your switch on aircon?

While driving at any speed if you pull out dashboard aircon switch your hear relay clicking rapidly then car immediately loses all power?

Appreciate any ideas.

It looses all power or really slows it down?

Could be a seized compressor. I wouldn't think the electrical system when activating would affect the engines electronics but maybe someone else will shed a little more light on it
