I have a 2017 ram 1500 bighorn 5.7 hemi. When I try to use my a/c it will blow cold air on the drivers side and full heat on passenger side. I have replaced the blend door actuator but I don't feel that the original was malfunctioning. Looking for any information on what to look at in order to fix this issue.

It really only can be a blend door issue if the system was low on refrigerant the drivers side would be warm and pass cold. What blend door actuator did you change? You can also move the door manually with the actuator off to see if the door is good once you find the correct one.

So does that mean the cluster around the dash screen needs replaced?

Because I do have issues with it not blowing air where I select it to. It just blows where it wants really.

I have also researched that it might be the hvac control module that is located on the passenger side towards the door behind the glove box.
