I had this problem with my 1998 Intrigue. It began when the starter died and the battery was disconnected. When I took it in for repair, the mechanic told me the actuator was bad, but as it turns out, it has two. He replaced the one on the right side but it began doing the same thing within a few days. At this point, I had already spent $300 and wasn't ready to chance another incorrect diagnosis. I tried disconnecting the battery cable for an hour to allow the actuators to recalibrate but this didn't fix. I replaced the left one myself, and this has corrected the issue. The actuator itself, cost around $165 if purchased from a parts store. The one on the right is located under the dash just left of the glove box. The one on the left is located right of the steering column.It's a fairly simple process once you get to the actuator.

Cool air flows from drivers side vents and warm air flows from passengers side vents on a 1997 Buick Lesabre?

Make sure refrigerant is fully charged. Does it have dual climate control? Perhaps passenger side sensor is not working properly


Heat comes out drivers vent and ac comes out of passenger vent why?

my 2000 Chevy venture van the air comes hot by drivers vet and cool by passenger vents


Why does the ac vents work on the passenger but not on the drivers side of a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville?

Your need to add more r134a Freon. When the levels are not sufficient to cool both sides the car default sends all the cold air to the passenger side and not the driver's side.


Why is warm air blowing out of left side vents and cold out of right vents when air con is on in your 2000 grandprix gt?

The climate control is not operating for the passenger side. Check to insure the physical controls work, and the diverter vents are opening to let the cool air to the passenger side.


How do you replace the drivers side temperature actuator on a 2006 Monte Carlo?

the actuator is under the dash on the drivers sideat that black box in the centerheld in with 2 screws. but beware if the drivers side is warm and the passenger side might feel cool . ur low on freon .


What is a central vent?

it is a vent that is in the center obviously


Why would a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP blow heat from the driver's side vents and cool air from the passenger side when the air conditioning is on?

the dual climate control valve is bad This has happened to me in the past when the Freon was getting low. Shorty after this I found out I was completely out of Freon. IGNORE THE SECOND ANSWER. THE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL VALVE IS BAD OR YOU SIMPLY HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE ON HEAT.


How does an air conditioner cool down air?

The refrigerant absorbs heat from whatever area is being cooled, whether it be the passenger compartment of a vehicle or the interior of a building. The refrigerant is then pressurized and superheated. Once superheat is achieved, the heat from the refrigerant is rapidly exchanged with the ambient air, and the refrigerant which is returned is much colder. A fan blows air over this cold refrigerant in the condenser, and the cold air flows through the vents to cool the area which is supposed to be cooled. That's a bit of a simplified version, but you should get the gist of it.

These are what help to cool and perfectly season your cooked chicken and/or beef.


Why the air conditioners throw cool air?

Well, the air conditioning system draws the heat out of the passenger cabin, transfers the heat to the refrigerant, superheats the refrigerant, then rapidly transfers the heat from the superheated refrigerant to the ambient air which flows through the condenser fins. This removes heat from the refrigerant, causing it to cool rapidly and drastically, and that cool refrigerant returns to the evaporator, where the blower fan blows over the evaporator, blowing the cooled air into the passenger compartment.
