I have a 2004 Silverado Crew Cab, the temperature on the drivers side air vents comes out HOT, all the time, while the passengers side can be controlled by the temperature control lever. If I push the A/C button the air on the drives side is still HOT. Passenger side will come out cold. Any ideas why the drivers side does not work?

    p.s. mines a 2005 silverado 1500. seems to be built like a toaster now a days.

    forgot one outher thing. seems like half the time you own the vehicle its in the relearn mode...evrything you do to it to maintain it and have problems,the answers are well it needs to relearn while you drive it. That doesnt sound safe at all. now boys and girls take it to the dealer again.

I think you will find that the mechanical control which changes the air flow from cold-hot-aircon has come off. I'm not familiar with your particular vehicle but usually the dash lever control is connected to a wire or lever to each air duct. If one of these is not connected then the duct will stay in the position where it was at when the control wire. lever came off. A good place to start.

My 04 silverado blows cool air out drivers side and hot out passenger side

I had that problem with my 04. Found out it was the "Blend" door that was bad. After I had it replaced, no more problems.

The drivers side heater control does not work. It blows cold air no matter what position the control is in. What is the problem? The passenger side works fine.

try to pop off the panel to the dash and follow the vent sounds like it has become disconnected somewhere and cold air coming from outside somewhere on firewall also check the heater core see if it is blocked by something like disconnected line

A/C blowing hot air on driver's side

You have a faulty switch. Go to the salvage yard and buy a used one, pull off the trim panel and replace it. I just did one of these last week with the same symptoms.

2004 silverado with dual manual temperature controls. Will not blow hot air out of driver side vents.

could be your controller or temp mix door

1. Gain access to the air temperature motor for circuit testing. There are 5 wires at the motor.

2. The Brown wire is ignition power.

3. The Yellow wire is a ground at all times, through the control head.

4. The Light Blue/Black wire carries a 5-volt reference from the control head to the temperature motor.

5. The Light Blue wire is the feedback circuit to the control head and should measure between about 1 volt (cold) and 4 volts (hot). This feedback circuit operates similarly to a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).

6. The Dark Blue wire is the motor control circuit sent from the control head.

7. When the control head sends out 5 volts on this wire, the motor moves towards hot.

8. When the control head sends out 0 volts, the motor moves towards cold.

9. When the temperature motor reaches the correct position (as measured by the feedback voltage on the Light Blue wire), the control head sends out 2.5 volts. This voltage signals the temperature motor to STOP and hold its present position.

10. Check for correct operation of these voltages.

11. In some cases, the air temperature door doesn't fit correctly in the plenum and will cause the air temperature motor to travel too far. This will cause the control head to become confused and operate erratically.

Check movement of vent doors on that side. Sounds like they aren't moving over as they should. (Or hose fell off on passenger side.)
