Have you recently installed anything new on your pfSense box or made any configuration changes?

No, i updated the version recently,

Since the last reboot?

What about uninstalling Squid and putting it back in?

The access log is the log of what Squid has allowed. If Squid is not running, there is no process to write to that log. That log will never show anything about Squid's behaviour. You need to look at the system logs to see why a process is not starting properly.
