I haven't seen anyone come up with a fix for this yet and I was hoping that someone could help. As the title states, I've got HOT air coming out of the driver side vents. I thought it was just low on refrigerant, but when I tested the pressure it was well over 60psi, honestly pushing 100+ psi. I've had this issue all summer and it wouldn't be an issue if I didn't live in Texas and the weather has been high 90s+. I've replaced the blender door, the compressor, and since the passenger and rear are significantly colder, I don't think its a relay or a fuse, those are next to test.
Has anyone figured out what's causing this, and/or how to fix it?

What is the pressure on suction and high side during a/c turned on?

100psi on the high side seems to be significant refrigerant leak.

Check the exact suction and hign line pressure once again.

Check all the hoses (crimp to rubber sides) and a/c valves visually (for compressor oil leaked) and with leaks detector.

Are the system flushed after the compressor replaced?are the expansion valve was replaced?are the oring was replaced lubricated during installation?
