Hi,

If you have been using the A/C, it could be from the system. However, that doesn't explain the variation in air temperature. Which side is working properly? I ask because it sounds like a blend air door actuator is not working.

Here is a link that explains in general how one is replaced. If you tell me which side isn't working properly, I can get specifics for you.

Let me know.

Hi,

I am so sorry. I thought this was a different model Mitsubishi. The Triton isn't offered in the US, so I have no technical information.

However, based on your description, it sounds like the blend air door actuator isn't working properly. I suspect that you have dual climate control. That means there will be one for the left side and one for the right. Since you get heat with the A/C on from the left side, I suspect that actuator needs replaced. You can remove it and see if it responds when you change the temperature.

Let me know if I can help.
