Strange AC Issue
Anyone got any ideas on why I only get cool air out of the two passenger vents and passenger side defrost vent? Just ambient temp air comes out of the driver side and center vent when the A/C is on.
If you turn the heat on then heat comes out of all vents like normal, but when A/C is on only out of the left side vents... Im stumped but im sure its something simple. Flow also changes when I select bottom vents, etc like normal.
Thanks

I wrestled with this idea for awhile until I hooked up my gauges and added freon until I got about 290 psi on the high side and whadda ya know, ice cold air on the drivers side to go along with the cold air on the passenger side - believe it.

No, 290 psig at approximately 2000 rpm (servicing a/c at idle can be frustrating). but that was for my ambient temp and humidity. Hot and humid. For reference, if you have a 90 degree F day and 80% humidity, at idle you should have about 225 psig on the high side. If you rev it up to around 2000 rpm the pressure will go up. If you don't think its the freon level go ahead and put a new actuator in like I did, then when you still have the same problem add the freon. Those are the only two causes of the simultanious warm/cold condition.

Well I haven't taken down the system yet, will probably do that soon though.. I mean if its low, then its low for a reason of course so I want to find the reason instead of just masking the problem. This is all great information and thanks for the help.

I am having the same prob.... I am told its low on refridgerent also, even though I had it checked and I was told its was fine, I have to believe its low on freon, cause i am told this system is finiky and can be to high one way and to low the other and it can cause this problem..... I will try to add some freon and see what happens......
