My air conditioner blows cold air on the driver's side but warm air on the passenger's side. What would cause this?

Hello,

This sounds like you have a faulty blend door actuator for the passenger side.
The blend door actuator controls the hot/cold flow of the air. A failed actuator can cause the air doors to get stuck in one position (in your case in heater mode).

The blend door actuator is located on the HVAC box behind the dash.

I have attached diagrams below for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
