Default A/C driver side

My 1998 driver side a/c doesn't get cold. Its like it's on the same temp all the time, 80 or so. Heat and air is the same. Passenger side works great. I have the dual climate control and its been replaced and a/c has been recharged by the dealer. They can't get it right and i'm tired of get soak with no result. Any help would be great . Thanks

Default A/C problem

Just posted an A/C problem with the same thing but not cooling on the driver side. I think I'll try the battery cable trick and see if it works.

TTT for you.
I've got the same problem, too.
From what I've heard, you may have to recharge your Freon. That "may" solve the problem. Good luck, and please post up if you solve it.

Don't forget to close your eyes and click your heels together 3 times while performing this repair. Sounds like low freon.
