Air mixer damper - AC blows warm on the driver’s side Lexus GX470

How to check and replace the air mixer damper for AC and Heat on a 2005 Lexus GX470.
Turns out that my issue - cool air for the passenger and warm air for the driver - wasn’t the damper after all, it was low freon refrigerant.
In this video we go through the procedure to check and replace the damper and how to tell if you are low on freon 134a.
How to add 134a Coolant to your car.
I really like Eric’s walkthrough of topping off your AC, Chris Fix and those other quick fix videos don’t go into enough detail. Eric is great.

I'm currently experiencing the same issue. Now I know what to check before spending $$$ at a mechanic.Thanks for the video.

I'm curious to hear what you found?

I just picked one up as a second vehicle. My driver blows HOT and passenger blows kinda cold. And rear ac blows the coldest. When I check the ac codes in the screen it does point to an actuator problem.
I will check this later today. I do believe I’m a little low on Freon also I remember seeing some bubbles in the site glass. I have ac gauges also.
Thanks for the informative video!
I love this car since it’s fairly easy to work on and diagnose.

Thank You. I had the same issue and it's fixed. Especially checking the bubbling little window.

I have the same issue run to watch before I go to mechanic. Looks like my GX is also running low on Freon. Thanks for the video

Do you know what the part number was for the driver side? I have the same issue. The number I have on the part 06700-8870 is not coming up on the Lexus parts website. I can find the passenger side with the bracket.
