2000 Jaguar S-Type V8 Automatic 117, 00 miles

Here's an odd one. I have a 2000 S-Type that has recently had the AC hardware replaced. Here's the situation; when the AC is on, and all front vents are open, the driver side vents blow cold air, while the passenger side vents blow hot air. HOWEVER, when the passenger side vents are closed, the center driver side vent blows BOTH hot and cold air (you can actually feel the difference depending on where you place your hand) - it almost seems as if hot air is being forced through the one driver's vent when the passenger vents are closed.

Anyone have any thoughts? Thank you.

The purpose of the air distribution system is to route air to the designated registers. This is accomplished when air enters the plenum through the fresh/recirculated air inlet and is routed to the desired outlets by the use of air distribution doors.
The air distribution system contains the heater core, A/C evaporator core, blower motor, and all of the distribution doors. All of the air is mixed and distributed inside of the plenum assembly, depending on the distribution door positions.
