    In my GP, I don't see an A/C button anywhere in the car, and do not know how to activate it. Does anyone know how? Or do I just not have an A/C?

    digital hvac?

    just turn the knobs to make it at what ever temp you want and hit auto or mode and it will engage the AC if needed.

    Where the A/C button is, I have "econ". I see the compressor in my engine bay but I don't know how to turn it on. It doesn't engage when I turn it to the coldest setting.

    So the A/C comes on automatically? I was running it at the coldest, and the compressor was not engaging.

    Your ac system might have a leak and all the R 134a is gone.

    Might be a good idea to take it in for a ac system check/recharge.

    If you still haven't figured out what was wrong... your fan speed was all the way off. Therefore, it would not blow any air. Click the fan up button a few times to turn it up

    You never just need a recharge if the system is empty then you have a leak. The ac system is a sealed system just like the brakes if you loose fluid you have a leak.
