Ac stopped working.

Ok so I was driving down the road and the ac suddenly stop working. What should be my plan of action if the fuses are good? Car has 130k on it.

You mean, no more air or warm air coming out?

Warm air coming out.

I could be many things, the most common culprit would be a freon leak, but re-charging without knowing where the leak is would be a waste of time and money. May need to take it to a shop where they can inject a dye in the system to detect the leak. But, I would not be a bad idea to have they entire system checked...my 2 cents.

Does the AC button light up? If the compressor engages and the light on the switch turns on then it's most likely a leak. Otherwise it's a fuse or bad connection.

Cool to know. Well just went outside checked all the fuses and the ac Light is on. I had a p0356 so I changed cop. Started up cleared the code and the ac started working. Weird. What's the best way to check the refrigerate?

If the AC is blowing cold, you should be good. If refrigerant is low it won't blow hot then cold. If it isn't cold, you use a recharge kit as a band aid, but there is most likely a leak and you would need the system checked by a shop.
