Arrow '99 E430--HVAC problem

A/C is set on automatic--driver's side vents blow warm air while passenger side vents blow cold air--set on 68 degrees. Any input as to the cause?

Normally that is caused by a low level of refrigerant. Have it checked with gauges to see what the pressures are and have it topped off if necessary.

Thank you Stan BUT, I would think that both sides would blow warm if refrigerant is low--only drivre's side blows warm--passenger side blows COLD.

I have the same problem

I had to turn on the AC this weekend and driver side blows warm while passenger side blows cool not cold. I guess I need to check the charge.
Last year all was fine, does this mean I have a leak?

johneb48 - did you fix your problem and what were the pressure raedings ?
