your vehicle has dual controlls for the heat and air. Make sure the driver side heat is on. if that fails, see if you have heat coming out of any vents on the drivers side. if not, the controller could have a bad connection of a loose vacum hosecausing the proper doors to not open or close properly.
most likey the control head in the dash for the dual climate control has failed ,to repair you will need to replace the controller,sometimes it can be purchased at local parts houses
Two of the more common problems with Auroras.
P0442 - There is a small solenoid (about $30.00) mounted near the L.R. wheel that will fix this.
P0410 - Usually due to leaking Air Injection Valves. These are about 2" square, one near the passenger side firewall, the other near the drivers side radiator. They cost about $200.00/ea. most people just leave it go as it does not effect performance.
Look for a hole or opening in the fire wall from under the hood.
Wire harnesses, AC lines and heater hoses usually have a grommet that closes off the air leak where they come into the passenger compartment. One may have rotted or simply pulled out. If pulled out, work it back in.
If you can get under the dash with the seat pushed all the way back, you can put a drop light under the hood, get under the dash and look for the light coming in. If you see anything.....PLUG IT!! :-)
The Aurora has dual-zone heating & cooling. Sounds like either the sensor or control know on the car is disconnected or not working. The passenger control is the knob on the passenger door. The sensor for it is under the glove box. I believe you need to remove the glove box hinge to see it. Could be the wires came loose or the sensor is bad. If anyone was working in either of these areas, maybe they forgot to reconnect one of them.
