The A/C on the driver side blows cold air when on cold but the passenger side blows hot air all the time when it is on. The passenger side only blows hot air.

Hi,

The problem sounds like an issue with the blend air door actuator (air mix door actuator). Does the vehicle have dual climate control? Also, do you hear any clicking under the dash?

Let me know. Also, here is a link that explains how in general a blend air door actuator is replaced:

I attached a pic below of the air mix door. You may need to remove it and see if it responds when you request A/C. Also, move the door manually to see if you can make cold air come from the right side.

Let me know.,

Take care,

Joe
