Default Uneven A/C temps?

My 04 with dual climate controls has drastically uneven A/C temps. Passenger side blows ice cold, and drivers side is "cool" at best, even with the temp set to 60. Im assuming this is a blend door issue (or at least thats where to start), but ive no idea where to begin troubleshooting it. Anyone have a guide or advice on diagnosing it?

The most common HVAC issue discussed on this forum. Search is your friend. Most comon cause is insufficient refrigerant or improper servicing.

You might want to check for leakages from the hoses connecting to the compressor. Pumping Freon to optimum pressure will fixe the different temps from the vents.

Bingo! When the A/C blows different temps from side to side, in my case at least, it has always been a 134a leak. When refrigerant levels started dropping, at some point the temps side to side change. I've been told that this is more common on the climate control/electronic air cars than the ones with good old fashioned manual controls.....
