Ac suddenly stopped working

Hi,

05 g35 sedan. Drove 38 mIles to work. Air was ice cold as always. 9 hours later, it blows but not cold. Not even a little. Fuse? If so which box is it in?
I looked in both and can't find one labeled ac

Thanks!

I don't know what to tell you then, definitely not the same problem I had. I blew the radio fuse on my 05 6mt coupe and had to replace it for ac to work. Sorry man I hope you find help

Well, thanks for looking. Could it be a fuse, or no since it's still blowingoing? Iow is the ac strictly mechanical since it's belt driven.

Only thing I can thing of is the radio fuse since it's wired together. That's a cheap thing to fix you could try but I'm not sure if that's it

Anyone else that may be reading. Input is appreciated.

I just got in my car with the AC off. Then let it idle for a minute. When I turn the AC on, the tach will move a smidge, VERY LITTLE. But it does move, so I am guessing it is kicking on. It is nothing like my Honda where you can feel when it kicks on, but I am guessing this being a higher end car it wouldn't be as noticeable.

Any help?

Turn it on and check out the compressor to see if the clutch is engaged. You should also be able to hear it going on and off.
