Why does my air conditioner blow cold air on the passenger side?

Turns out it was low, but not by much. He added what was needed and it stopped running warm on the driver side vents, where it blew cold on the passenger side. He said even the Freon being slightly low can cause the issue the OP and I experienced.

Drivers changed air temperature far more often than they change the mode (defrost, floor heat, dash vents, etc.), so the temperature actuators generally fail first. When that happens, the HVAC system can be stuck on blows cold air or blows hot air. In a dual zone system, you wind up with a blows cold one side, hot on other side condition.
