Hello and thanks for donating

Are you certain that it is the heater that is working or perhaps just that the A/C is not cooling the air so it is blowing in warm outside air? You may need to check the refrigerant level of the A/C system to see if it is low.

no. it blows cold out the middle and back vents, super hot out the left dash vent, warm out the right vent and depending on what setting hot out the defroster

Okay, there must be an issue with the temperature blend door behind the dash. May need to remove some instrument paneling to access the blend door and inspect it carefully to ensure it is operating properly.
