Check your DIC for codes on the HVAC. When you get warm air on the dirvers side it is usually an actuctor (should get a code) or low on freon. I can relate, been through all of this, and I think I got it fixed, just in time for the cool weather.LOL

Same issue on my 98 two months ago. Have the freon level checked. Mine was low, A/C shop topped off at proper level and all is well. As other mentioned, has been a HOT topic all summer long.

Good luck with the repair.
