Need help with A/C

So i was coming back from the casino this past saturday and my a/c just shut off automatically. When i tried pushing the A/C off button, it started flashing slowly. The fan just blows but i cant turn on the A/C itself. I can turn on the defroster and everything else but the a/c, just blows hot air. Does anyone know why it does this? do i have to take into to the dealership for service? Why does it flash, is there a way i can reset it?

There must be a fault, I guess you have to have the car diagnosed. Could be as simple as a sensor but it could also be a leak and low on refrigerant.

Warranty does cover approved tracer dye for leak test at no cost per DTB P-B-83.00/97a all models air conditioning not cooling / leak test using fluorescent dye.
