4N1M4L Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 2010 Lincoln mkz awd. Touchscreen. The drivers side gets ice cold, hut the passenger side just feels like its recirculating the cabin air from the car. Opened up the glove box and I can see the door actuator moving as it should, but no cold air, just cool. I keep hearing this term "heater core bypass door" am I getting cold air, but the heater core is heating it back up? Anybody have any experience with a similar problem?

4N1M4L Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Update: bought a bottle of freon with a gauge built into it, had a measely 10# on the cold line. Bottle says it has a sealant in it too. The $35 bottle got it up to 30#. Blows cold again. We'll see how long that lasts robertlane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jluke2044 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Imagine my amazement when, after reading reams on DCCVs, DATC module, blend door actuators and resigning myself to spending a ton at the dealer to see this. I was convinced it couldn't be the charge, as the driver's side blew cold air, but after reading this, I added some R-134 and VOILA! the passenger side started cooking again. THANK YOU!
