    ac dash light comes on, but the air doesnt get cold
    tried w eco on and off
    turned car on and off
    auto climate on and off
    no compressor
    I really hope I dont need a new compressor
    I did just have some 6x9s installed and I ofund this:


    So im thinking(hoping) this fuse got shorted during the install or just let go

    More likely a stone or road debris put a small hole in the condenser.
