The air conditioning is not blowing cold on the two drivers vents, but it is blowing cold on the passenger side vents. Blend door seems to be working fine because the heat will be hot on both side of the car. Also, checked the blend door actuator and that is working as well. Maybe it could be the climate control malfunctioning?

Good morning.

When you command AC, can you hear the blend door on the drivers side move? It may be stuck in heat mode. Common failure.

Yes, it could be the control head not sending a command but I would be sure the blend door is moving before going there.

1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. On RHD models, remove the glove box binSee: Glove Compartment > Removal and Replacement > Instrument Panel Glove Box - Removal.
3. Disconnect the wire harness connector (1) from the blend door actuator (2) located on the left side of the HVAC air distribution housing (3).
4. Remove the two screws (4) that secure the blend door actuator to the air distribution housing and remove the actuator.
