C5 Auto Air A/C Temp Problem
Alright guys, I love the DIY threads. But I am stuck. I have a 97 with dual zone A/C. Last winter I had to replace the driver side blend door actuator. Vehicle worked fine. Now recently, the driver side is warmer than the pass side. No big deal, I know some Chevrolets have to be re-calibrated when the actuator is replaced, I have a friend that works for my local dealer, so I dropped by. Per him, there is no calibration for it through GM Tech 2. He suggested that either the new actuator is bad...ERRRR...or a wiring issue. So I tore back into the dash and I am stuck. Both actuators are working, they are opening an closing correctly with no jams, both cycle the same distance.
Is there another actuator that I am missing? The pass side is ice cold, driver side warm, defrost, floor vents, all are cycling correctly, except the temp in balance.
Any ideas?

IF they are both working as you say, I would take a look at the freon charge. This is a common problem and can be the charge in the system is not correct, there is enough to cool the passenger but not the drivers side. There was a great write up on here the other day, try to find and read it, its under "AC in a 99 Vet"
