A/C Fan not Blowing cold
I disconnected my battery in hopes of resetting my CD player, but instead the A/C does not blow cold on the driver side. How can I reset this? Also while we are at it what must I do to reset the CD?

My CD player does not play CD's I read on a forum that if you disconnect the battery it will reset itself and play. It worked once before, but not this time. I was thinking maybe there is some sequence that must be done. Also maybe there is a sequence for the A/C also.

Run the codes on your DIC. when you get to HVAC codes clear them. You should hear the system recycle. . Bill

seems to be a common issue when disconnecting the battery for some.
I will quote an individual that had the same problem and their fix
How to Pull Codes:
1. Turn your key to the "ON" position, but do not start the engine.
2. Clear any present messages by pressing the RESET button.
3. Hold the OPTIONS button down, and press the FUEL button 4 times. (This will get you into the "codes" section of the DIC.
4. The computer will automatically display all the codes your car has created. It will cycle through each code every 3 seconds. (Have a pen and paper handy to write down the codes)
Note: Any code that ends in an "H" is a history code (something that has occurred in the past, but is not reporting as an error currently.)
5. Once the computer has finished going through all of its codes, press RESET to enter Manual Configuration mode. It should start with a module and show "NO CODES" or "# Codes."
6. To optionally reset codes once in manual mode, press and hold RESET until is displays "NO CODES."
7. Press OPTIONS to go into the next module (ie, from PCM, or Powertrain Control Module, to TCS, or Traction Control System.)
8. Repeat Step 6 until you have reset all the codes in all the computer modules.
Note: Only reset the codes if you want to- it is not necessary to reset them every time you pull the codes.
9. When finished, simply take your key out of the ignition.
if you need to replace the actuator
Air Temperature Actuator Replacement - Left
Removal Procedure
Remove the front floor kick-up panel. Refer to Kick-Up Panel Replacement - Front Floor in Interior Trim.
Remove the Bose module. Refer to Bose Module Replacement in Entertainment.
Disconnect the inside air temperature sensor aspirator duct.
Depress the duct retaining tab and remove the duct from the ignition switch housing bracket.
Use a twisting motion to release the duct from the duct muffler.
Remove the inside air temperature sensor aspirator duct muffler. Use a twisting motion to release the duct muffler.
Disconnect the air temperature actuator electrical connector.
Remove the air temperature actuator screws.
Remove the air temperature actuator.
Installation Procedure
Position the air temperature actuator, then align the slots in the actuator driver to the flats on the temperature door shaft.
Slide the air temperature actuator onto the shaft, while aligning the actuator locating hole to the forward alignment pin on the HVAC module case. The actuator should be completely seated onto the temperature door shaft and be the actuator mounting holes should be flush with the mounting bosses on the HVAC module case.
Notice
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Install the temperature actuator retaining screws. Tighten
Tighten the screws to 1.5 N·m (13 lb in).
Connect the air temperature actuator electrical connector.
Install the inside air temperature sensor aspirator duct muffler. Use a twisting motion to secure the duct muffler.
Install the inside air temperature sensor aspirator duct.
Use a twisting motion to secure the duct to the duct muffler.
Install the duct retaining tab to the ignition switch housing bracket.
Install the Bose amplifier. Refer to Bose Module Replacement in Entertainment.
Install the front floor kick-up panel. Refer to Kick-Up Panel Replacement - Front Floor in Interior Trim.
Recalibrate the actuators. Refer to Re-Calibrating Actuators .

Threw codes and ran driver's side hot, while passenger was cold. The actuator doors needed to be re-aligned. Turn the HVAC system to OFF and them enter the C5 DTC diagnostic routine, clear ALL the HVAC DTCs and the actuators will cycle through their ranges and reset them selves. Once the doors finished their re-set, all was good with the world!
