Default AC question
I have a 1999 Buick Regal with the digital climate control. My problem is that one side blows out cold and the other side is hot. I have heard that these need to be calibrated is this true and how do you calibrate it? Also the unit display doesnt work

well the digital unit has gone blank and when i looked for one on ebay it listed a few troubleshooting problems with it. one was if one side blows hot and the other side blows cold it is not the unit it needs recalibrated. the heat still works fine but not the ac.
