Default Air conditioner not working

My 2016 XJL with 105000km (~62k miles) has suddenly decided to have the A/C stop working, I have checked for codes with my iCarsoft unit and find no errors. Looking for any info on where I can find the associated fuse(s) or any other ideas about what might have caused this, it was working fine one day and the next time I drove it no cold air at all. Trying to check everything I can before making a dealer visit. Any ideas or help is appreciated thanks.

Can you tell if the compressor is turning at all?
Any chance you get a set of AC gauges on the car?

OK so tried to put my AC gauges on and the ports on the car are larger than the fittings on my gauge set. Is this a new standard? Is it due to the refrigerant they use in our cars?

Check if low on freon. I thought is already cold in Ontario. I am in Texas, it's been a week & a half I haven't used A/C. Maybe this week as the temp continue to rise

Your car uses R134a so check that your gauges are set up for R134a.
AC gauges should snap on the fill ports?

Did you notice any knocking noise when you turned on the A/C PRIOR to this happening? Like a small knock knock knock.......then maybe go off after a short period of time???
