2008 Ford Focus SE is blowing hot air from driver side and cold air on passenger side. Read that it might be the blend door and replaced acutators. This didn't fix it. Coolant is full as well. I am at a complete loss so any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Coolant is full?

If you are referring to refrigerant, you can't know that. You need to have a professional look at it and the first thing they should do is a completye evacuate and recharge to assure toe correct charge which is critical.

Yes, the refrigerant. Sorry for the misspeak. The refrigerant was professionally checked recently so I'm don't believe that is the issue. Also, it blows ice cold on the passenger side. Thanks.

Cool one side and not on other? For plain systems that's near always improper charge of refrigerant. If googling the world away you'll see use center panel vents as the one(s) to check performance.


Just a point for lower capacity/weight of charge vehicles. If you are more than 10% off it will misbehave. In this that's less than 3 ounces. You just said "full" which tell me you don't have a clue what full means for A/C.


Only way I know is to recover all of it and put back the known exact amount - no gauge can tell you a system is full yet they sell ones that do say that???????????????
