I have an 03 Durango, I was told it was in the dash, for me the driver side, heater box wasn't closing to allow a/c on left side. I googled 'heater box' and seems unheard of! But it's at the shop being replaced! Cold air blew thru all other vents but mine, the heat from my vent made a/c from all other useless!

anvilpounder & bikerick were dead on correct- thanks guys, been along time since I messed with A/C.... had to knock the dust off.
Finally caught a break between dirt bike & quad builds and got my A/C equipment out (figured I'd save some cash and just do it myself). I had lost some pressure. Recharged the system to the correct specs and have A/C rollin cold on both sides again. Been about a month now still good to go, no worries.
Think it had everything to do with how Dodge A/C set up flows left to right vice top to bottom.

*Wasn't the blend doors you can check those by removing portion of the passenger side front panel and watching the actuators move the doors while a buddy rotates the selector **** through the different settings.
I have seen some guys have the plastic blend doors break though and there is a company that can make you metal replacement ones - it's mentioned somewhere on this forum.

-I've read so many things about replacing doors & heater cores & expensive invasive reapirs. I considered just having my coolant flushed & recharged So when I read your post I'm hoping that I'm understanding you correctly. So if my drivers side vents blow cold but not the passanger, a recharge should remedy the issue..?

Holy thread resurrection Batman!!! Last post is from 5 years ago.

But yeah, recharge system, if it was just low it'll fix it. If it don't then you have a busted blend door...

I had a 2003 Ram, almost all of my Hvac doors and actuators where broke. I went to the dealership and bought all the stock replacements, fixed every single problem i had. I did it myself took about 6 hrs and you had to drain and pull the inside condenser to do it.

When I turn on the A/C it only blows cold air out on the driver's side? The passenger side just blows warm air. - I suspect this is not a problem with my A/C system itself but with the vents / duct work?
Anyone have this happen to them or see it - how do I fix this?
get your air bag recall done by a dealer and they can replace the cracked rubber hose that controls the ducting valves that turn off the heat on passenger side.
