A/C not working

Just drove 3 hours in the heat of the midwest without any air conditioning. Every time I pushed the A/C button on the control panel it would flash three times then go blank. Blowing hot air from the outside. Just curious to see what you guys think the problem might be. Its a 2014 450 GL with 19,700 miles. I plan on dropping it off at the dealer on Tuesday. Won't be driving it to the Indy 500 tomorrow that's for sure.

Dealer Repair

I guess in during my build the high and low pressure AC lines were installed too close to the frame and were rubbing against the frame. This caused a leak in both lines, thus no AC. Dealer will install new lines and reroute them properly so they don't touch the frame. They had to remove the transmission to put in the new AC lines. It was quite a process. Received a transmission service for this repair.
