Ditto. Occasionally the driver side air will go from AC to heat! Have to stop the car and restart it to get it to be AC again. Time to sell and buy a Ford.

The passenger side air blows only hot air, because the acctuator door is broken. I took the vents out and sealed them so that no air comes out of the passenger side vents. This is obviously not the best solution, but the acctuator is so hard to get to that it isn't worth it to me.

I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 LS with a 5.3L V8. The air conditioning comes on correctly and is quite cold when the truck has not been running for a while. After the engine heats up, it blows cool air but not sufficently cold enough to keep the cabin comfortable. I had the Condenser Coil replaced (the one that is partially under the dashboard (cost of $1100). Again, the air is blowing cold (very cold when the truck has not been running for a while) and then, after the engine heats up, the air is not cold enough to maintain the cabin at a comfortable temperature. I have been to three different mechanics and I have spent a lot of money but still don''t have useful air conditioning.
It is not fixed!

A/C blows cold on driver's side, but, the Passenger side fluctuates hot then cold and repeats that cycle every 2 seconds or so. I was told it was the Mode Actuator motor and a repair shop quoted me $925 to replace. If I could find a repair manual that covers this, I could fix it myself, however, Chilton's doesn't cover it and I can't find another resource.
