    AC issues

    I need help tracking down an AC issue.

    Center Vents only - Air temp is around 72F

    Floor Vents / Center Vents - Center vent blows cold air and floor vent blows hot air.

    AC was recently charged up, aux fan works, a new drier and heater control valve installed....has anyone experienced issues similar to this?

    I am going to assume that you have the center vents set to the 3 blue dots here.....

    So if you are getting hot air with the A/C on, you will have to check the heater valve located under the MAF / Airbox to see how hot the heater lines are. If one is hotter than the other, it's probably working properly, but if both are hot, then it's not.

    How does it work when you set the HVAC to "Auto"?
