The PA has 4 center dash vents. Is the far left one only pushing warm air?

Ok got to head off to work, but going to have a peak at the PA A/C FSM diagnostics and see if this also could be a vacuum or blend door situation.
Will post back what I find tomorrow...

Have car at normal operating temp....
OK, just to avoid confusion, turn A/C off, put vehicle in vent mode, blower on high....... command full hot....should get 140-150F out of both sides......now, command full cold......should get ambient air from both sides, with A/C off.......If you have that, there is nothing wrong with your actuators......chances are, you are still low on refrigerant....

Yea, has heat across the dash, and cant really get ambient temp, once i adjust to lower temps the park ave automatically kicks on the a/c... There is no setting for just a fan option. But when done the air on the 2 passenger side vents are cold and even the 2 rear middle vents for the rear are cold. But driver side is not cold at all just hot ambient air i would say.

To bypass A/C on, select "Vent" position, lower temp ,adjust air flow to "Mid" and fan to high.

Thanks guys, i believe i was just low on refrigerant.. Ill find out tomorrow when the temp is up... But i did tried the heat first, then switched to vent mode then to ac, did it while i was sitting outside oreillys, and went in n grabd on of those cans of a/c pro a "12oz can" and added more to the system.. It took the whole can but the driver side is now cool... A noticable ice cool...
