My ac unit is blowing extremely hot air from the drivers side vents and cold air from the passenger side and rear vents. How is this possible and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks for the input.

Yes I do. But it blows out extremely hot air on the drivers side when I have the AC set for both.

On your vehicle, there are two blend air doors. What they do is determine if you get heat or AC. They are located near the heater core. My guess is that one is working, and the other is stuck in the heat position.

Well, if you have good mechanical ability, you may want to try it yourself. I have worked on cars for nearly 30 years. If I could pay someone to do it for me, I would. Part of the dash needs taken apart and removed.
