A/C on, cold on drivers side, heat on passenger side

[shaker281]

Whether on floor or dash vents I get cold on drivers side and heat on passenger side.

Blend door? Temp sensor? Location of part and/or part number?

PDF of service manual is always nice. Hint Hint

Thanks in advance.

its a diverter door motor. a lot of times if you reset the whole climate system it will fix it. some other times you need to replace the motor.

Blend door actuator.
It's pretty easy. Get a cabin filter when you do it. In order to change the filter you have to remove the actuator anyway.

It's behind the glove box.

Here's a "how to".

You guys are awesome.

I replaced the pass side blend door actuator once before. It was making noise at that time.
That was at 42K miles. Now it is at 97K, so sounds like every 50K or so!
Thanks for the link.

And great idea on the cabin filter.

It appears that the one controlling heat/cool is located to the left of the glove box and partly hidden. All black, not half black and half white. But both are same , despite part number differences (8G13-19E616-BA for original, AA5Z19E616C for MC part from Rockauto).

Major PITA to get at and good luck getting the screw closest to the firewall back in! I dropped mine and who knows where it went.

Have a plan to secure the screw to your socket, just to get it in place and started, my plan apparently sucked. When I find a new screw, or the original, I might try hot glue this time.

Put a piece of facial tissue over the screw (possibly two layers) then put the screw in the socket. Paper works as well but tissue seems to work better.

Two of the three screws are ok.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I used Saran wrap, but knocked the screw loose and it dropped down like in a Pachink0 machine into the depths of the lower dash.

I need a small neodymiun magnet!

Not the first time or the last. Usually you loose your socket and can find the screw.... Glad you just lost the screw

I went and bought some .3" neodymium magnets at Home depot and a new screw.
Dropped the magnet into the socket and the screw stayed there just fine on my second attempt.
