When running the defroster or heater set to any vent position I get hot air on driver side and it works as it should but the passenger side blowes nothing but cold air.
Where do I even begin to look for the problem?

Good afternoon.

There is a blend door actuator behind the glove box that controls heat and cold. It is a very common failure.

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
