2001 Conv Dual Zone Air Conditioning
Hello everyone, my ac is not cooling on the driver's side of my 2001 C5. The air flow works but the air is hot. However, the passenger side blows just fine. The flow is fine and the air is cold. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks.

I have the exact same problem, started a thread about it yesterday and was directed to the Reindexing HVAC actuators thread linked here but I am not getting any HVAC codes.
From his page:
"If you are not getting codes B0441 or B0361, stop reading! It’s either the right Actuator, or possibly some other HVAC issue."
So if I'm not getting the codes then what else is wrong?
My driver's side air is not hot, just barely cool while the passenger side is ice-cold.
At times it will get somewhat colder after being driven for awhile.

I had the same issue, with the AC, and I first cleared all the codes and then I perfomed the maint that was described in that thread, and my AC is currently blowing cold air on both sides, froze me out of the car.

I finally had the time to mess with this today. I went through the process to remove the actuator, rotated the gear two teeth as described, reinstalled it, still no cold air on driver's side. I installed a brand new actuator and still no cooling. After I drive it awhile it sometimes begins to blow cool but only for a few minutes, passenger side is still blowing ice-cold. It blows hot if I turn up the temperature just like it should but will not blow cool no matter what.
