I think it's strange though how the centre duct can have two separate temps even though they come from a single duct ... lol.
Exactly - That's why I suspect a critter making its home in there.

So I did what you said and I even took my dash apart and looked inside and nothing was there blocking anything. Checked all the mechanical actuators to make sure the doors were opening when I changed the settings and they worked too.

Could it be I just need a recharge? Never had one done before.

Maybe. Usually when it needs to be charged, the output never gets cold. It seems odd that the center and passenger side are blowing cold.

Well now it's working again. After taking the dash apart and checking everything, I put everything back together and was like hmm I will check the H and L ports on the AC lines. The H cap was kind of loose so I tightened it. Also, I checked the AC temp monitor on the front bumper and it had fallen off the mount, so I used some zip ties and put it back.

For some reason one of those things fixed the issue. I now have mostly the same temp from all vents.

OK now today it's not working again. The drivers sides never get cold while the passenger side gets cool but not as cold as it should be.

I'm thinking it just needs to be recharged.

EDIT: Just an update, I checked the 'sight glass' on my AC and its bubbling like mad so yeah, low on refrigerant. Time to recharge!!
