a/c question. Please?

[Jessica729]

I have a 2002 Grand Prix 3.8

The AC works.. The problem is that it's dual climate control and the driver side stays hot most of the time. Occasionally it will cool off for a while, but it never gets very cold like the passenger side does. While having half the a/c is better than having nothing, it's no match for this Oklahoma heat. Plus, next Thursday the 10th, I'm having a baby, so I'd really appreciate any advice on this. Thank You!!

Hey thanks. I sure hope this fixes my issue! It's HOT!

I can't seem to get the link to work but I would like to see it. I have a 2000 GT with the dual climate control, and sometimes, when I get in it, it will read something crazy, like -38 degrees, and start blasting hot air even though it may be 80 degrees outside. Anyone see this before? Thanks.

Has anyone fixed the above problem. If they did please let me know too. My 99 blows cold on passenger side but warm on drives side

warm on the d/s can be low Freon, or a blend door actuator has quit working.


this little f'er could be the culprit.

in the pic on the left side with the line trough its hole. you also have one on the pass side.

I just got it checked out yesterday and they checked for leaks. And filled it up I can turn it to hot and it warms up and then turn it to cold and it blows 65 on drivers side and 45 on pass side

i just posted this in another thread, so here you go.


next step is the blend door actuator.

if you take this little bastard off and turn that small knob it sits over one way or another, you get full heat or full a/c. ( on that side only) driver side is fun to get to. you need to take off the plastic under the wheel, by your knees, then the steel knee bolster, 4 bolts i think, and the foot cover by your feet. if you look threw the front with a light you can kinda see this thing. it has 2 very small bolts that hold it in and they are kinda hard to get to, i used a nut driver to get the bolts out. the only real reason to take all that stuff off the front side, is so you can see what you are doing, you reach up from underneath to get to it.



truth be told, mine are unplugged for a year now, i take it off and turn the knob where i need it, hot or cold, and then slide the actuator back on, no bolts, it stays put for me. im to cheap to buy another one. so im all jerry rigged lol

Ding ding ding! Mine was indeed a frozen blend door. Had it replaced before last summer and it's still going strong.
