I have a 2003 Honda Accord with NAV and dual climate control, but the driver's side of the AC isn't getting as cold as the other side; it is about 10 degrees warmer that the passenger side even when the driver's side set value is the lowest possible. The passenger sides seems to be working perfectly. How could I determine if it is a control door or something else? What could it be? Also, how can I get the center console section (NAV & Radio) out so I can see behind it?
Thanks!

The AC system is low on refrigerant, recharge the system and check for leaks.

There is an air mix motor for each side of the vents that controls the temperature of air coming into the cabin. You should be able to see and access it if you look under the center console from the gas pedal area.
There is also a mode control motor that controls direction of air. Just toggle the switches while you look to see which is which. You could replace this yourself with a philips screwdriver if you find that it is binding.
