02 explorer a/c issues

Well I was recharging my a/c yesterday because the system was low so I used one of them 24oz cans and now I am getting cold air out of my passenger side and luke warm air out of my driver side vents.
Also if I switch the **** to the different vents I don't get anything out of the floor only. I get air out when I select it, but it's coming out of the defrost. Other than that everything else works just fine, just no floor. I've read issues with the blend doors but my vehicle doesn't have the dual climate controls so I'm at a loss...

bump... same issue on my 05 Mountaineer any thoughts? I am guessing a blend door motor, just not sure which or location.

Thanks!

the blend door is electric and BLENDS the cool and warm are to get the correct temp... There are 3-4 different vacuum doors that are "on- off" that direct the air to the dash, defrost, and floor... If you loose vacuum, the doors go to the defrost location. Your looking for a vacuum leak. Either a small 1/4 size hose on the firewall in the glove box / intake manifold area has come loose or cracked.... or you have a leak inside the controller on the dash. If the controls are similar to the F150, you could have bad o-ring seals between the ports. Vcuum on one port directed to 3-4 different outlets to stroke the doors. I will post a couple links you can read.
