Could be a lot of things; start by doing a search on A/C control

maybe the a/c comp passed out or you got a leakage. check the fuse as well.

Did you tinker with the radio lately?

Try this for a start, turn the car to ON(without starting it) and make sure that your radio is on. Hold the ON button of the radio and the SCAN UP simultaneously for three second. The digital display on the dash with show the A/C level. If you turn the climate control **** clockwise the range should show you all the numbers from 0-16 as you turn each notch and vise-versa. That verifies only the function of the climate control ****; otherwise, the climate control **** is your problem and there is a DIY to fix that.

How did you check the system for pressure? If you have freon in the aystem, your clutch in the compressor should activate once you turn the A/C on; otherwise, the compressor went dead or something electronically went dead, fuse
