Warm air drivers side, cold air passenger...

I have a 2014 limited BRZ with the dual climate; I think the air mix door actuator on the drivers side has stopped working. I get warm air on the drivers side but cool air on the passenger.

I'll have to contact the parts department at Subaru or Toyota; does anyone have any ideas if I am going in the right direction?

That's not it, just looked at the servo and watched it on my back move and change to hot and cold with no problem.



I guess I can still check the pressure and level of refrigerant to make sure everything is good; seems strange because the passenger side is fine.

The manual is correct; 30 psi @ 75 degrees, needed to be 40 psi. Now it's cold as ice and I don't have to sacrifice your AC.

Having the same issue on my 2013, driver side is warm, passenger side is cool. But both take a minute or two to get cold now. Once I start getting some speed or on the freeway they cool, but if I'm sitting in traffic or stopped for a minute they get hot again.

Did you replace some parts or adjust some settings? Wondering how to go about it on my car, thanks!

Sorry for the late response; I needed to charge my AC system back up. It was the low pressure side. Ended up using the AC Pro because it had a conditioner for the rubber gaskets to prevent future leaks.
