2004 chevy avalanche with dual control system problem

Any idea why a 2004 chevy avalanche with dual climate control setting at 60 with a/c on would blow hot on passengers side and cold on drivers side?? Pulled the fuses and they are in good shape, anything else I should look for or test?

    This happened to me and turned out it was a low car battery. If the voltage is too low it can't activate the actuator. Got a new battery and presto cold air on both sides.

This problem is caused in almost all cases by a failed actuator that moves the door insiode the heating/ac duct to change the outlet temperature, it is called the Air Temperature Control Blend Door actuator.

Likely your passenger side blend door actuator not switching.

2004 Chevy Tahoe: I changed A/C blend door actuator on passenger side and it's still blowing heat on my driver side?

Does the vehicle have dual zone climate control, where the driver side and passenger side have different control? Sounds like a blend door issue on the driver side. Why did you replace the passenger side, was it blowing hot too when AC was on?

wakow4u, What you have to do is look for a vacuum line that comes from the engine and enters the passenger compartment through the firewall. This vacuum line controls the climate control. A small rubber hose that fits tightly will suffice as a good and quick repair. Good luck with this.

I had a similar problem and thought to solve it my adding freon. When I made the connections I was surprised to find that the pressure was already higher than it should be.

Changed plan at that point and vented freon back into safe range. The A/C immediately began blowing cold again on both sides. Found out later that if the A/C had been serviced / filled on a cold day, that on a hot day in Texas it would be too high and cause the issues you noted.

2004 chevy tahoe, dual climate control, blowing different temps

Its more then likely the temp door broken or temp door motor broken/stuck. There is 2-3 of these motors under the dash on the side of the evap/heater core box. Some require extensive labor to replace, good luck
