It could be low on freon or the clutch could be bad. When my Mini did the same thing it was just the electromagnet for the AC clutch that was bad so I just changed that part. Your fan may be running in high mode.
Check to see if you are getting power to the wire that activates the magnet if it is getting power the magnet is probably bad. Also check that the system is charged properly. If it is to low the compressor will not come on. It also means you have a leak somewhere

I don't think it's freon, was working great the day before. I'll try to check the power to magnet. Would the fan on high be connected to all this? Thanks

I don't think so. When you turn your AC on the fan should go to hi speed for additional cooling. If it is hot it may just need the cooling.My wife's 2014 runs on hi after being shut down, of course its been in the high 90's here. Turbos generate a lot of heat. If you have a way to check the system pressure I would do it. If you developed a leak it could lose it all pretty fast.

Well, found the main culprit-glad I looked here. Very strange, almost looks like sabatoge. It's in a pretty protected spot and definitely nothing rubbing it. Might have been money wasted at the dealer if I didn't check. We'll see what happens with the fan now. cheers!

Whatever the reason, mice and rats love to chew low voltage wires, like the ones in cars.
I remember one of my mechanic friends showing me a Lamborghini Murcielago that sat in a garage for monts at a time without being driven, It had a rat's nest in the frame. Wires were chewed all over the car.
It might be time to invest in some traps.

Wife had the same thing happen. Also took out the left horn. Rabiit had been in our garage the days before. Turns out insulation is made of soybean according to the tech. Yup, we took to dealer and paid the tax. On the good side, they fixed it and I could not.
