Air conditioner doesn’t work on passenger’s side. Front or rear. Blows out hot air. Sometimes the defroster doesn’t work either. Sometimes when I turn on the defroster, it blows out through the air conditioner vents.

Sounds like both a mode door and blend door problem.

The mode doors determine where the air comes out. Defrost, vent, floor, or a combination of these.

The blend doors determine whether the air is heated or cooled.

The first thing you should be aware of is this.

> If you've heard of a TIPM, chances are you own a vehicle from Fiat-Chrysler (FCA). Think of it like a command center for all the electrical functions of your car, and in FCA's case a very, very disfunctional one.

Then the next thing that can cause this problem is a faulty AC control module.
