Default AC is being weird

I fixed my AC today by replacing the fuse, and it worked fine to begin with after intially checking it- but when I tried it again later, the driver side was blowing icecold air, while the passenger side was hot. My car has the electronic dual climate control, if that matters. Any suggestions as to what this could be?

Do a search from this forum. Type in B0361 or HVAC will get you in the right direction, also check and see if you hav any codes, good luck

That is the symptom of low refrigerant - hot on drivers side, cool on passenger side.
