AC went out, what to check first?

Hello all,

last week on the way to CA the AC on my truck went out. The usual has been checked, like fuses, relays and such and they don't seem to be the problem.
I couldn't see any freon leakage or anything, so I guess the system is still charged.

What else is there to check without replacing parts at random or is there an 'easy' check to find what's at fault?

Thanks for any info and the search didn't really get me many posts related to AC problems,

greetz Ron
