Heat on one side and not the other on 96 E320
I have just replaced the blower regulator after my wife kept getting in my ear that she was cold.
She pointed out that even though the fan is working correctly there still is little or no heat on the passager side. Being the driver who has heat I normally wouldn't care but how much *****ing can one man take? Can anyone point me in the right place to start.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
run the
onboard climate control diagnostics.Post the values and errors.
Seems you have a stuck duo valve that is not letting heated coolant through the wife's side of the car.
You would feel the same way if you were on the cold side,so i will leave it to you to search for the diagnostic program and how to test and repair the duo valve.
