Default A/C climate zone problem

My 1998 C5 blows warm air through the vents on the drivers side , while cool air comes out the vents on the passenger side. Any advise is appriciated.

I had the exact opposite problem. I am told it is a problem with the blend door actuator. I’m having it fixed currently.

either you need a ac charge check which would show if you have any leak's in the system or the blend door is messed up

Could be a broken cog in the blend door actuator (common), or they could have just gone out of sink. Try resetting the system by pulling the fuse (#27) this helped for mine, well it moved the door enough so it wasn't permanently blowing cold air in the winter! Pretty sure the cog in mine is fried though so will pull the dash at some point to repair .

Should have added your stock post about reading DIC codes with the video link! OP could have a blend door actuator problem too, which would result in a B036x code.
