Warm on the left, cold on the right...

Driving home today, the A/C was nice and cold. Temp wheel was set at MIN. I had to pick up my daughter and take her on an errand about 40 minutes after I got home. Hop in the car, hit the A/C and the vents on the driver side began to blow warm. The vents in the right were still ice cold. It was like a dual system. When I came to a stop, the driver side began to blow cold. accelerate, then warm again. Right side stayed cold. Out of curiosity, I moved the temp wheel to MAX. Both side got hot. I then moved the temp wheel to MIN, and both sides got nice and cold.

I checked the freon pressures, and they were fine. I'm thinking it's the mono valve.

Any ideas?

I think your A/C is fine. It sounds to me like you have a problem with a vacuum line to an damper under the dash.

Here's what you do if it's so cold your diesel fuel gels. Smear some on some toast and stay inside until it warms up outside.

I have the vacuum disconnected due to various leaks in the dash. Currently, the air is split between all dash vents and defrost vents. This morning the a/c worked fine.

Good idea to clean the CCU terminals. I need to replace a burned out bulb in the wire "octopus", so this will give me the added task to make it worth while.
