    I have a 2003 GP SE. The a/c is blowing cold through the third vent in the middle (towards the passenger side) and the vent on the passenger side, but the other three vents - two in the middle and on the driver's side - are not blowing cold. Any idea what this could be?

    Are they not blowing cold...or not blowing at all? If they aren't blowing at all - then you're issue is most likely a vacuum line issue.

    The vent on the passenger side and the right one of the middle vents on the dash do blow cold. The middle vent and the left vent on the dash and the driver's side vent do not blow cold.

    So....they are blowing some air - just not cold? Correct?? One thing I forgot to ask - and I'm not sure - does your car have dual climate control?

    Yes, two vents are blowing cold, just not the ones on the driver's side. And yes, it has dual climate control.

    Perhaps I am not asking the question correctly. The vents that are not blowing cold air...are they blowing ANY air?? This makes a big difference in diagnosing your issue.

    You need to check all of the vacuum lines on the back of the HVAC controller in your dash. You should not have any outlets that don't have a vacuum line attached to them. If all of that checks out ok - then you likely have a damper issue.

    From what Ive read, warm drivers side vents signify low refrigerant. Again, Ive read this multiple times, dont know if its true or not...

    Youre lucky. The shop told me my AC is plugged and only takes 7oz of refrigerant. Neither side is cold at all..
