No A/C on left and right successively?

Thanks for the video, next time please upload the video to our site so others can have better access to it. :) It looks like the actuator in the video is working correctly with no broken control rods. So, when the A/C is on can you feel cold air anywhere, out of any vents? It could be the driver side actuator went out and then the A/C stopped working as two different problems. Here is a guide to help and the blend door actuator locations in the images below. Please go over the guides and the images and get back to me.

Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Thanks for the It looks like the blend door actuator is working okay, if the actuators where having a problem they usually make a clicking noise. I would start by checking the refrigerant level here is video to help us and I have included a guide you should go over as well.

Hi Charles,

Well, we are getting closer. It does sound like the driver's side actuator is not working correctly. We should change it out. Here are the location and how to do the repair in the images below. You will need to remove the throttle pedal assembly. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Oh yes, I did see that video. Did you try to move the blend door actuator by hand to see if the full movement is being achieved?

It sounds like the blend door is broken inside the HVAC plenum or there might be obstruction inside one of the vents, when you move the gear can you hear the door shut inside when going from lock to lock?

Thanks for the video. Yep, it does not sound good. The door should move easily, when the actuator is not attached to the plenum does it move when you work the controls. Is so the HVAC plenum needs to be removed and disassembled to find out what happened, it could be something has fallen down into the vent or the plastic gave way and needs to be replaced. Let me know I will forward instructions on how to remove the unit.

Yep, just as you see there you can try to remove the mounting screws. Removing the HVAC plenum is a big job, but I can walk you through it. First disconnect the battery, drain the coolant and discharge the A/C system.

This video will help:

Once that is completed, here is how to remove the HVAC unit for disassembly. The dashboard will need to be removed first. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
