Try unhooking battery for a few minutes this will cause actuators to do a full sweep and reset. if it is still stuck then will need to replace the actuator for blend door on that side

Important !!! Check the Anti-Freeze Level.

  • rigby1972 Jan 04, 2010

    If Heater starts to go gradually... And only works when R.P.M.'s are high Pumping what little Anti-Freeze you have left through the motor and Heater Core; it may be a sign to add some Anti-freeze / H2O.

2004 Chevy Tahoe: I changed A/C blend door actuator on passenger side and it's still blowing heat on my driver side?

Does the vehicle have dual zone climate control, where the driver side and passenger side have different control? Sounds like a blend door issue on the driver side. Why did you replace the passenger side, was it blowing hot too when AC was on?

2004 2500 6.0 Silverado ac blows HOT on alternate sides of vehicle while in Auto A/C mode.

Douglass, Your A/C may have lost it's programming, blend door actuator could be faulty or A/C could be low on refrigerant. You may have to take in and have a good Tech. diagnose and estimate repair.
Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

2005 chevy impala passenger side blows heat out continuously, driver's side works fine with heater & AC

You may find a reset will solve this annoying problem. The problem you have is the GM heater control unit has lost it's calibration, which can happen from time to time. The way to reset it is, start your car and turn your heater off, and shut off the car, pull out the keys. Then with vehicle off, disconnect the battery, (or batteries if it has two). Let sit for 10 minutes, then re-connect battery. Get in and start the engine, DON'T touch anything, let the heater control unit re-calibrate for at least 40 seconds, (by the clock), then try turning on the heater.
Good luck!

2004 silverado for some reason the heater/ac control only works on the 5 setting and when the heat is on only blows out hot air on the passenger side and cold on the drivers. i have replaced the blower...

Well had the same issue on my duel climate controll 04 2500HD but changing the heater control solved the different temp.The only other thing would be your mixer door motor.There are two,one for DR side is probibly stuck..As far as the blower motor.The resister should have taken care of that.Sounds like you may have another bad one.May want to take a volt meter to the resister plug in and run you different fan speed just to make sure that you get voltage to the different conecters.

I have a dual control a/c heater. When the heat is on drivers side blows cold and passenger side side blows hot? The a/c works fine on both sides.

The Drivers temp actuator has stuck. Most of the time they need to be replaced. That is the one on the bottom of the dash. It's underneath by the tranmission hump. Most trucks have a cover. You will need to remove it to gain acess. There are 3 or 4 7mm screws that hold the cover on. Then the temp actuator is right there.
You may be able to unhook the battery and see if it resets before you go through all of that. Sometimes it works most of the time it does not.

Heater only works on passenger side.

there is a motor actuator that moves these doors for hot and cold, two separate ones for either side. the motor unit for drivers side is no good and needs new one. replace this and all will be good.

2004 Chevy Silverado AC is blowing warm air on passenger side.

You have dual zones that are controlled by temperature actuators the passenger side has lost its memory or has gone bad you can put it in self programming by disconnecting the battery for ten minutes then hook it back up start the truck turn the temperature control on but do not touch any other controls let it go thru the self programming for about 6 to 7 minutes then select your temperature you want if it still does not work properly you may have a bad actuator or a bad connection at the actuator
