A/C issues
My car has the climate control settings and now when it's warm enough to kick the A/C on only cold air comes out of the passenger vents and the driver vents blow ambient air. Anyone have any ideas what's going on? I had my performance shop refresh the refrigerant back in March as it wasn't blowing cold air at all at that point. Just seems like this started happening recently (last couple weeks). Thanks!

I just had the refrigerant recharged back in March and I've only put maybe 800 miles on the car. If it's low again I must have a leak somewhere. The last time I was low I couldn't get any cold air out of the vents though. This time it's cold out of passenger vents but not driver vents. Almost seems like a control issue with the system and not recognizing it needs to use cold air on the driver side.

Believe me, I thought the same thing. I even pulled my drivers side actuator off and tested it. After reading many posts, I finally evacuated the system and refilled it by freon weight. Works great and cools both sides.

I'll have the shop check Freon levels and make sure it's full first.
jft69z.....not sure exactly the temp coming out, but on a hot day (90+) and the climate control set at around 72 on both side, you can feel cold air coming out like a typical A/C unit but the air coming out the drivers side doesn't feel cool at all.

Get a small thermometer & get some readings on max cool, recirc. turned on.
