Default DC2 Air Conditioner stopped working! Help!

So a few days ago my AC was working perfectly, when i would turn on the fan switch and push the AC button i could hear the compressor and had continuous ice cold air. I didn't use it again until today and when i tried, zero cold air came out.

If i push the button for AC, the little green light underneath turns on but nothing actually happens. What could my problem be? And if it's a fuse or relay what one is it?

Is the compressor turning? Look at the front face of the A/C compressor and see if the clutch is spinning, the bolts on the compressor clutch will be rotating. If your systems pressure gets to low the compressor turns off to protect it from damage.

Update: the pulley is spinning at normal operation, but the clutch drive plate isn't moving at all?

Should it be when the AC is on? I'm not sure how to check if the clutch is spinning properly

Yes the clutch (drive plate) should be spinning almost (95%) all of the time when the A/C is running except for short pauses if its cycling. If its not, usually your system has leaked out completely or is to low for some reason. You can either buy a cheap fill kit and this sometimes last a while or only a few days depending on the leak, or have someone or yourself replace all the seals, vacuum the system, and charge it back up.

Ok thanks, i'm guessing it may be low or something because it was working perfectly only a couple days ago. Then the weather was colder so i didn't need to use it but today i tried and nothing
