The driver side works perfectly fine with both A/C and heat but the passenger side is only blowing out hot air no matter whether I have the heat or A/C on.

Hi,

I assume the vehicle does have duel climate control. If that is the case, there are two blend air door actuators. These actuators are responsible for determining the air temperature entering the vehicle.

In this case, I would remove the actuator and see if it operates properly. If I had to guess, I would say it needs replaced.

Here is a link that shows how in general one is replaced:
