Why is my car blowing hot air on one side and cold air on the other?
Blend door actuators are the most common reason for the car air conditioning to blow cold air on one side and hot air on the other. They can be diagnosed with an advanced scan tool. If it does not move with the adjustments and commands, there is a problem with the blend door actuator and it will need to be replaced.
Why does my heat only work on one side?
This situation can be caused by a bad blend door (also called air mix) actuator, a broken or binding blend/air mix door, broken linkage to the blend/air mix door, or a faulty HVAC control head or wiring harness.
What are the symptoms of a bad actuator?

Why doesn’t my car AC work when it’s hot?
The hotter it is outside, the harder the air conditioning in your vehicle has to work. Rising outside temperatures put extra strain on your entire vehicle and its cooling system, from the battery and belts to hoses and fluids, requiring each part to work overtime to keep your vehicle cool.
Is there cold air coming out of the passenger side?
WOW! part numbers 80321-shj-a02 and 80341-shj-a01. The “low freon” speculation…needs to be investigated. I suspect the cold air coming out of the passenger side is plenty cold, which would not be possible with a freon leak. Before bringing it into the shop, check out the driver’s side air mix motor.
Why does my air conditioner blow cold air on the passenger side?
Turns out it was low, but not by much. He added what was needed and it stopped running warm on the driver side vents, where it blew cold on the passenger side. He said even the Freon being slightly low can cause the issue the OP and I experienced.
Why does my Subaru heater stay warm in cold weather?
Since it takes a little while to go from cold to warm it might be that the engine warms up and the hot water is circulating though the heater core. That’s why it stays warm when you stop for awhile at a store etc. because the engine retains the heat, especially in warm weather….
Where does cold air come from in a Subaru Outback?
The air drawn in from outside is first blown, by the fan, through the AC evaporator, where, if the AC is on, the air is cooled and dehumidified. The air then flows to the heater core area. If the temperature control is set to cold, the blend door should route the air around the heater core, so that the heater core is not involved.
