Default A/C Driver's side

Whats up guys! Its been a long freaking time! I know! LoL!
Gotta question: why in the hell is the driver's side A/C blowing hot air?
Passenger's side is cool!
FYI no clicks.

Actuator is likely stuck or stripped out entirely

Hmm cool!

Ill definitely look into that. I wonder what actuator could it be. I did replace the one right by/inside the glove compartment. I heard there are 4 of these suckers.

Ive done the one for the blend door twice. Go with OEM, thr dormans are worse.

The driverside one is easy to get too.

I still need to do mine, it starts clicking at its full cool range. When it starts clicking, the toque causes the rod that the gear is on to slighly flex, which opens the gap, causing the teeth on the adjacent gear to not grab and make the anoying noise

Guess what? this damn thing is working now. I had switched out the passenger side on the left side of the glove compartment a while back.
Purchased one for the driver's side, now it sits on my shelf for a later possible install. Ha!

I'm thinking when the car died(my genius *** left the hazards on) may had something to do with it getting out of sync or something. ??? It blows very nice on both sides again. But thanks for all the help Sint3k!!

It resets its count at every key cycle, so unlikely. No telling, maybe a good bump jarred it

Are you using GM parts to replace?
