The "dual coolant control valve" needs to be replaced. This is what the T-bird has rather than a "blend door" or a "blower door" like other dual temp climate control systems. It's buried under a bunch of other stuff in the passenger side front of the engine and has about 3 heater hoses connected to it. A serious DIYer can do it (I did) but it was a royal PIA.

When air conditioner is turned on the drivers side blows cold air and passengers side blows hot air, rear dual air blows cold air in to back passengers area.

If your sure you're looking at the right motor, Then the door is broke. Dash and plenum have to come out to fix it. Not a cheap fix.

Air conditioning system, when you turn on the air conditioner the drivers side blows cold air and the passengers side blows hot air? What causes this problem?

The most common cause of this is that you have a stuck air temperature control blend door, this can be a motor actuator issue or a jammed door or both (common). To replace both parts you will need to completely remove the dash from the car to access the blend door.

A/c blows hot air on drivers sde

The actuator door on the driver's side is out of position and needs to be reset. Remove the negative battery cable for 1/2 hour to reset the computer. Start the HVAC system and you should be able to hear the door adjusting itself and cold should come out of the driver's side vent.

Heater on blowing cold on driver side and hot on passenger side

This sounds like an air damper is not operating, maybe a cable sticking or a vacuum line come off.
