Q: A/C blows hot cold

asked by on June 24, 2016

My Azera has dual air conditioning. It is blowing hot air on the drivers side only, and the A/C is blowing ice cold air on the passenger side.. The digital controller seems to be working OK. What could be causing this, and do you have any solutions?
