Hi,
On this vehicle, there should be two blend door actuators (air mix doors). I attached a picture below for you and highlighted the two actuators. To provide the correct directions, I need to know which side isn't working, passenger or driver's side.
Let me know.

I believe it is the driver's side. The car is only blowing warm air when I turn the A/C on. The heat is working like it should.

Hi,
Are you getting cold air from the passenger side? If so, then suspect it is the air mix door actuator. I attached the directions below for you.
If you are not getting cold air from either side, chances are this isn't the issue, so let me know. The directions are for the left side (driver's side).
Let me know if you have questions or if I can help in any way.
Take care,
Joe

Hi,
If that is the case, then we need to check if the A/C compressor is engaging when you turn it on. Have someone turn the A/C on while you have the hood open. You will hear a click when it engages. See if that is noticeable.
Also, take a look through this link. It is very helpful. Keep in mind, it could be low on refrigerant. If you go to the link, there is a section that explains the compressor. It will help you.
