When turning on the hear, the heater blows cold only on the passenger side. When I took the dash apart it blows hot on both sides. It has a manual knob to go from hot to cold and it does NOT have dual zones

Good evening,

I posted the location of the blend door actuator for you.

I would remove it and move the door manually and see if you get heat.
If you do not then you most likely have a clogged heater core and have no circulation in part of the core.

The vehicle gets good heat. It just blows cold on the passenger side. There is no blend door actuator on the passenger side. This vehicle does not have dual zones nor rear heater. When I take the dash off it blows hot out of all vents. When the dash is put back on it only blows hot on the driver side. The blend door is wide and opens for both sides with the dash off.

Okay, when you install the dash, does the dash push on the heater case or the blend door itself?

It has to be with the mounting of the dash against the heater case against the air ducts.
