Very nice video brother..... it’s obvious that English isn’t ur first language, however u done an excellent job explaining it to us and u were very easy to understand. Thank u sir for taking time to make this!
@@ChristyJohnsonDanceMaster well that’s just the way we say things in the south, may not be proper, but it’s the way things are said. I never comment to cut anyone down, only to build them up.

You are a life saver sir! My mechanic wanted to take the car apart to looks for all kinds of problems. Said it would be a 2 and a half hour job!!! Ripoff!
The other video I saw told me just to pull and replace the actuator. Glad I saw how to test the actuator and thank you for showing clearly the location of the actuator. Recharged A/C today, works great! Thank you
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to know! 2011 Camry passenger side blowing good cold AC and driver's side blowing hot air! Going to check blend door first...
I've been working on my own vehicles for a while now and I have admit I learned alot more than I know about charging my ac and know if it's a actuator or the blendoor. Thanks alot brotha love to learn more
If its not actuator fault then definitely its due to less freon gas. Secret tip to check if gas is low; when u start the AC if both side vent gives chilling air for atleast 4-5 sec then cooling decreases at affected side. This is also applicable on split ACs inside houses
Before you go taking your dashboard apart. Do this. If you car had separate climate control. The side blowing warm to hot air. Stroke or run up the temperatures settings hot to Col hot to cold. I’f it changes your blend door actuator is not bad. Check your climate control set point relay. If the blend door temp changes it’s not bad set point is relay is also it’s not as difficult to check out or change. If the blend door actuator is bad. You would not be able to swing the range of temperature. Also it would be making a ticking noise or a thump. If neither of those are happening or yoUr temperature doesn’t change as you run the thermostat through different ranges.. then absolutely your actuator is bad . Or if it’s just allowed hot air
Oh my god. Thank you. I took my altima to the mechanic and they said "its cold" in which i replied "yes its cold outside.... its the summer im concerned about"
I watch your video all night and day I had a ghibli 2014 had cold on the left Hot on the left I pressed the high and low then I ran the car turn the ac on and the blend door open and close now so happy
Actuator or Blender door. Its the same on all vehicles pretty much. Some guys swear is the heater core but 99.9 percent of the time the heater core or ac charge is not the cause of drivers side and pass side significant temp difference. If one side is holding suitable temp parameter on low fan and doesnt drop significantly when on high fan your coolant charge or heater core flow is not issue. And just because actuator moves does not mean it is in correct position or sealing when closed. I some cases the actuator moves but the little shaft inside your box is broken. It is very common on late model vehicles and It sucks. If you dont have atleast a weekend or potentionally more to spare depending on parts availability or $500 to $1800 to take that bad boy and trade it in!! Sometimes you can get lucky and find a local vocational or technical that will do it for cost of parts and minimal labor charge or donation. I grew up working weekends in my grandfathers shop untill he passed away a few years ago. I do underground pipe so if biz is super busy and I cant find the time to work on my own vehicle I show up with a few pizzas from a really good place and sodas for the class and voila an availability opens for later that week. 😆
Thankyou so much for making such a straightforward easy to understand video. My car was low on freon, has been topped up, now much better, but still not as cool on one side, but not warm anymore, so maybe too much freon. Your video indicates most likely not the blend door.
I figured that would be the case. My AC is blowing hot drivers side cold passengers side on my 2006 Avalon Limited. I need it fixed as my mom refuses to drive the car until it’s fixed and it’s 95 here in North Carolina!
I took my venza for the same problem, I service the AC, still have the problem, and I did replace the actuator and it is perfect now, THANK YOU! TO THIS VIDEO, BY THE WAY, THE MECANIC TOLD ME IT WILL BE AROUND 1300.00 TO FIX IT
I haven’t checked thoses two out but I have been recharging my Tacoma ‘14 and the passenger side does not blow as cold as my driver… I was thinking I have leak so it’s good to know gottah check other things
I don't understand how the passenger side is colder than driver's side is warm just because freon is low. I would have thought both sides would be warm. Thanks for this video!
currently i am have the same issue in my 2012 mazda3. driver side is warm cool air and cold on passengers side. then again it's ac unit have not been maintained for 10 years. lost of freon over time. guess a can of dye and stop leak?
My car is currently in this condition. Warm driver side and cold passenger side. I hope it’s just lack of freon as the car is around 15yrs old already and not the actuator. Thank u for this vid!
Would there 2 air climate control modules that control the passenger side and one for the driver side. I have a 2018 lexus IS and only found one module down by the gas pedal?
Thank you for sharing! Is there a reason for low Freon other than a leaking in the AC system? I heard that the AC either has a leaking or no leaking at all, nothing between the two scenarios.
This started yesterday on my 04 suburban and driver side blows ice cold and passanger side blows Extremely Hot I was told thermostat but this makes more sense
My highlander ac blows cold on the pasaenger side, but not on the driver side. After about 7 minutes the driver side caches up until both sides work.🤷♂️
That's interesting that low refrigerant causes only one side to run hotter. It would be interesting to see the arrangement of evaporator coils inside the dashboard. Perhaps they have two coils and the driver side is downstream of the passenger side?
Hey man I have a question my ac in my 2011 scion xb only blows a little cool on the passenger side and warm on driver however my blend door doesn't work like it should when I have it on defrost I still get air blowing out the front vents no matter what setting I put in on even feet setting I get out the front vents when I put it on the window vents barely anything comes out its like all the settings only want to blow out the front vents? Could this make the ac not blow cold? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼 just to clarify my hot and cold works it's the setting knobs that aren't working sorry for calling them blend
same issue with 2016 camry. Also, in my case, loud, rapid klicking sound is coming from passenger side. I have removed glovebox, there are 3 actuators and I think clicking is coming from recirculation door actuator, but can't access it good enough. Also, it blows only cold/warm air, no heat.
Not yet, started working on it 2 days ago, hope I can access recirculation door actuator without removing blower motor ( I don't think I can do it by myself )
Had this same problem so I took it to a repair shop and my 07 Camry only had a half ounce of coolant. It's actually blowing colder than I first got the car. 😀
I have a 2012 Toyota Camry 30,000 miles on it and I barely use the AC and just found out I have the same problem I checked the blendoor and is working do you still think I need to put freon on it? Thanks
After several attempts checking different things, today I stopped by the shop to add freon and problem solved. Thanks sir. You saved me a lot of money.
I have a 2011 Toyota Avalon limited and it has same problem my driver side was not cold and passenger side was cold check driver side blend door actuator and it was working one mechanic told me that I might just be low on Freon and just need be recharged because the actuator is working plus my car few months ago took awhile to cool the vents down hopefully it just simple that I just need ac recharged and thank you
Wait but what do I do if the blender isn’t working? I had a bad battery and my car did some weird stuff on the dash and then it starting blowing the hot air on my side. I’ve got a new battery since then and it’s still doing it :(
Do you have video on that? Also how do you know it’s not an electrical issue. Half the time when I crank my car my dash makes this funny noise and the defogger light flashes for up to a minute before my ac will even kick on
Can you help me with this?? My mechanic tried to get my ac going. We replaced door actuators and the condenser. That didn't work. Would this impact the heat?? It's not as strong on the driver's side as before.
Heating is different from ac. As long you have coolant then you have heat. If not hot enough it mean that your coolant is low or heater core is clogged up.
How about If I need to get hot on passenger side. Because it is winter now. Freezing inside the car. Passenger side blowing cold. I turn to hot all system, but not working. It is warm on driver side not hot, but passenger side is cold? how can I fix it?
I have a 2010 Toyota Camry without dual climate control. Hot air on driver side, cold air on passenger side. actuators appear to be turning and working as they should. Add Freon?
I have a similar problem with my car, I also observed that my ac compressor doesn't tunr off. It's always running unlike before wherein i can here it clicking automatically. Is it also because im low on freon?
Yes if the gear turns. It means that part is good. And it's doing its job. So if it's turning.. And you're getting hot air in the driver side. Then you need freon.
Mine is doing the same thing. I have 05 Avalon. Changed my actuator. Still doing the same thing. Blows cold while driving. Get hot when I park on drivers side. Passenger stays cold.
Added Freon to it and all my ac is cold now but drivers side is not “as” cold but a bit colder. It’s getting a little more colder the longer I leave it on. Should I let it run a little longer to give it time to get colder??
Hy thanks for your time. How about if a car AC toyota avalon only work on P AC die as soon as u shift to other gear I'll be appreciated if someone can help me.
Check your blend door motor make sure it open or close properly. In this video show you how to check it. you have dual zone in your car so the passenger may not open as the driver side. Please help me subscribe to my channel 🙏 ok.
Sorry it shouldn't be the freon, it's a closed system. If it's low there's a leak. Try running on hot for 5 minutes then cold for 5 minutes. Resets the blender.
Awesome video! I have a 2009 Toyota Sienna and have the issue on the driver's side with the AC not running to full capacity. But when I turn on the rear AC it works fine. Any thoughts on what the fix for this could be?
