Default AC on driver side blowing cold and hot

I have a weird problem with my AC on driver side, once AC is on it blows cold air and stays cold for a while then all of a sudden it will start to blow hot air for a while and then back to cold and thats only on the driver side, while the passenger stays cold and doesnt change.

Checked the HVAC codes for any codes and all it shows 0 Codes.

Its a dual climate control and the screen doesnt work.

Done that and kept it for an hour and reinstalled it back, still the same.
Also got under the dash on the driver side to see the actuators, and yes they are functioning.

Compressor would cycle of low or overcharged. I'll ask this. What have your air temps been like where you live. My ac is damn near useless in 110+ heat once my condensor is heat soaked in stop and go traffic. Maybe that is causing your compressor to cycle?

Over here it's like 110+, I never had any issue with my AC before and cleaned the condensor and radiator just Incase, but again it's only the driver side while the passenger side is cold.

It sounds like the problem lives in your air blend door which reheats the cold air coming off the evaporator. If you want to trouble shoot, find the heater inlet hose and clamp it off. With no coolant flow to the heater core, the air cannot be reheated. If the blend door is misbehaving, you should feel some change in airflow but it will no longer cycle from cold to hot because the air diverted to the heater core will no longer be heated.
