When A/C is on, it delivers cooling to the entire passenger side. Drives side feels like it's taking in 100% outside air (very warm). Passenger side front door has climate adjustment control on arm rest. Thank you

Hi,

There are two blend air door actuators on the vehicle. It appears the right side one has failed. The actuator is located on the right hand side of the heater box under the dash (approximately behind the glove box).

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

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

You actually have two actuators. One for each side. I attached the info from the manual on this location for the driver side. Unfortunately there isn't any more detail about the location on this one but here is a guide that will help in more general terms.
