The left side blows hot and the right side blows cold.

Since it's winter and all, I have been using my heater extensively. I recently replaced the regulator and that fixed the air speed, but now I have a new problem. When I use the heater, the left side blows hot air like normal, but the passenger side blows cold unheated air. I thought it may be a duovalve from searching, but that seems related to the A/C. My A/C works fine. I'm trying to get the passenger side to blow hot also. Any help please.

It might be something with the A/C housing. Maybe the motor inside the unit is not opening the vent to let hot air in...... I mean it is a dual climate control unit, so they almost work seperate to a certain extent. The passanger side might be faulty. Check out some fuses and relays.

The duovalve controls the heater, not the AC. It can affect the AC if it lets full heat through in the summer. Yours could be bad on the right side.

Last year I took my car to the dealer for B service & after they'd finished they told the heater wasn't working & would cost $500 to install a new dual valve (AKA heater control valve). I told them no because the heater was working fine before I took it in & I thought if I messed with it a little it might resume normal function. Unfortunately, that was not the case & since then the heater has done a few strange things, including what you mentioned yours was doing. However, I live in Southern California so I don't really use the heater that much anyway & am finding the heated seats sufficient. My car is a diesel & takes a 0018307884 valve which is available online at about $215. If yours is a 210 body gas model, Germanstar has 0018307784 available for $179 (they claim it'll fit mine but I'm not gonna buy until I get verification of that). From what I've discovered so far it seems like the dual valve is gonna be what I (and you) need.
