Default Need AC help

Yes I've searched.......

One of many issues with my car I cannot find a resolution to. At first I had no AC. Checked the compressor (loud, but still works) topped off my freon which got the passenger side 'cool' (not cold). Drivers side, still hot. Went through the tedious task of replacing the drivers side actuator, per the codes it was throwing. Replacing actuator accomplished nothing. When the car is running and we reset the computer though, you can clearly feel the air start to blow cooler while it's resetting everything, but once reset is complete it goes back to blowing hot air again (usually about 110* with 90*+ outdoor temps) and now both sides blow hot air......

Any suggestions??

Did you recalibrate the actuators, there a recent post on how to do this.

HI:

You may also check the vacuum source for the system as well. If the system is not getting enough vacuum then some of the vacuum doors will not open all the way and the system will blow hot air.
