Weird A/C Airflow Problem
MY A/C is nice and cold on the driver side, but the passenger side doesn't get as cold. The rear seat ducts seem to get cold, but have lower airflow (probably normal). The Airflow on both passenger ducts is strong, but its not really all that cold. Both vents on that side feel the same. Any ideas? Does this mean that the A/C is low?

Here is the last time this was discussed:

Your ac is not low...it'* all coming from the same duct.
Ensure the vents are fully open and you can not see any restriction in the duct.
As a kid..I accidently dropped a bimetal popping disc into my Mom'* defroster...lol..every time she kicked it on...click!

All vents are fully open. Even on the BI-LEVEL setting, the passenger side blows warmer and less dry than the dariver side and rear passenger, on both top and bottom!

Do you have Driver & Passenger Automatic Climate Control, or the Manual Climate Control? There are mixing doors in the Auto Climate Control that sometimes malfunction sending non air conditioned air to one side.

Are you saying the Buick and Olds had a separate door to adjust the heater blend on air to passenger side but the Bonnie didn't get that door? Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
