SOURCE: Passenger side a/c blowing hot

There's a rod assembly that opens and closes the vents in the car for the automatic climate control. It's supposed to open all vents to the AC feed when in AC mode. BUT, if it slips loose, the default status is to feed heat through (you can open a window in the summer, but you don't want AC blowing in your face and on your windshield in the winter). In my case, the driver's side was working right, pumping cold air, but the passenger side was actually dumping hot air into the car. Friend who fixed it for me told me he just had to drop the glove box etc. on the passenger side to get to the rod and slipped it back into place. I'm not agile enough, but if you are, you can probably crawl around under there and figure it out - or get a friendly mechanically inclined young friend to do it for you. Probably in the mechanic's manual for the Caddy (I don't have one).

Think this will fix it for you - did for me.

SOURCE: Hot and Cold

The most likely cause of your problem is the blend doors under your dash. If they are not moving like they should it can cause this type of problem. You can look under the dash to see if there are any linkages that are disconnected. Some of these are very hard to change so you might want to take it to a repair shop unless you are very good with cars.

SOURCE: the a/c blows cold air on the the passenger side

Sounds like you have the dual control. If you have already set the pass side on heat, (With so little infor on these we don't know how much you know) and you are still getting cold you basically have one of three problems.

  1. The blend door motor is not working or
  2. the control head has failed.
  3. there is a vacuum leak.
this will take diagnosis.
hope this helps

Air conditioning system, when you turn on the air conditioner the drivers side blows cold air and the passengers side blows hot air? What causes this problem?

The most common cause of this is that you have a stuck air temperature control blend door, this can be a motor actuator issue or a jammed door or both (common). To replace both parts you will need to completely remove the dash from the car to access the blend door.

I just replaced a a/c heater blower motor resistor and now I have hot air on drivers side and cold air on passengers side and in the rear. .

Sounds like driver side blend door is not functioning, either actuator bad or door has broken, remove actuator see if door moves freely, if door moves freely test actuator, leave out and connect wiring, move controls from cold to hot see if actuator moves.

Driver side blowing hot air passenger side blowing cold air

I'm having the same problem except on mine it's the driver's side that's blowing cold. Do you have the pictures in a finer resolution? I can't make them out and when I zoom, they are too grainy. Does the replacement require removing the dashboard? What's the general cost of the acuators? Are they readily available at like NAPA or other parts stores?

AC blows hot air on the driver side and cold air on the passenger side

You may have a bad temperature door actuator motor on the drivers side. The actuator is what moves the temperature blend door and when it fails it usually moves the door all the way to the "hot" position. Sometimes if you shut the vehicle off for a bit then restart it the system will work fine for a while then the actuator will again swing the door all the way open or shut. I've replaced several of these actuators [both drivers side and passenger side] for similar problems.

Passenger side only blowing cold air.

You need to replace the "blend" door actuator motor on the pass side. I recommend getting that from your nearest gm dealer to ensure proper fit. When you adjust the air from cold to warm to hot, the blend door moves to direct the right amount of cold, or warm, or hot air your desire on that side of the vehicle
