2003 S-type A/C hot air on passenger side only
Hey Guys,
So i had something odd happen today. I was picking up a friend and it was hot outside so i turned on the a/c (I haven't used the A/C since last summer) The drivers side was blowing nice cold air but the passenger was blowing HOT air. The middle part was also slightly warmer to the passenger side but not nearly as hot as the passenger side. I put my hand over the passenger side vent and it felt like the heater was going on full blast. Also i tried closing the vent on the passenger side and the middle started to blow hot. Any ideas? Should I just take it for a recharge or is it something more serious? Any help is greatly appreciated..Thanks in advance!

hello, have seen this problem multiple times, problem is your dual coolant control valve (dccv) the solenoid that controls the pasenger side has gone bad, need new dccv, problem is you let this problem go it will burn out the tracers in the a/c control panel aka moduele and will need that replaced too. There are places you can send this out to have repaired if thats the case, because at a dealer a new moduele is around $1500 OUCH!!!

Yup, Dual Climate Control Valve... Easy fix.... Search it on here, and look in the FAQ. There are many threads on it, including instructions on changing it. Also, don't worry if the module goes bad... The burnt traces can be repaired with a jumper wire and solder gun.. Again, it's out there... But don't fret. It's common.

First off, Thank you all for your replies. Second, sorry I didn't have time to answer earlier. Anyways I looked at the DCCV and it was leaking so I ordered one and will replace it when it gets here(hopefully before it gets too hot here in California
). Once again thank you guys for your help and guidance.

Well I finally got around to replacing the DCCV...Took the car out for a spin and still hot air on passenger side. DCCV was defiantly leaking so I guess now i need a new CCM? any good(cheap?) suppliers? or should i try something else first?
Thanks for the replies in advance!!

The CCM is usually a relatively easy fix by soldering a blown trace on the board.
