Default 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

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!
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.
