John, pull the DTC to see if there are any door actuator codes. If not, flush the heater core.

Then it sounds like your driver's side actuator has bought it.

That or the heater core needs to be flushed.

Check your codes as stated above, you're looking for B1341/B1340 one of those two. I can't remember which one is for the driver's side.

I'm pretty sure B1340=driver's and B1341=passenger's, or for the 1997; B1340=door#1 and B1341=door#2. I just rebuilt my #2 actuator, but I understand that there was a major design change in 98 where both actuators are in one unit (per Danbuc). Mine was a royal pain to get at - it means removing the upper kick plate (passenger) along with the glove box to get access to it. Not a fun job in bad weather or if you are big as you need to maneuver in tight areas up there.

Similar problem on my 2000 Eldo. Very little heat overall but more on passengers side. In summer, no AC on passengers side(almost feels like heat is on). Acts like a stuck vent door. Also, my mecanic tells me it is throwing a "lean" code. Check engine light on. Could they be related?
