I am not sure which side the heat comes out of. It has been about a month since it did it. I will let you know as soon as it does it again. As far as the noise of the door opening and closing under the passenger side of the dash, it has never done that before? It just started doing that last week once and awhile. When it does it you can hear the creaping of the door opening and closing non stop for awhile.

Blend door failure is common on the GC and what you are observing is not unusual. The computer system goes through a calibration routine every twenty times the GC is started to "learn" the position of the blend doors and re-circ door. The creaking and straining noises you are are this calibration routine.
 
The only elements in the GC HVAC system that differentiates between driver's and passenger side are the blend doors and a difference between passenger and driver's is usually an indication of blend door failure. Reading the HVAC codes will give you a definitive diagnosis.
 
The intermittent operation is most likely a symptom of the system in the midst of failing. The doors are not totally broken...yet, but they will get there over time. Sorry for the bad news, but this is a flaw in the system design and replacing the doors is the only option.

As we discussed previously you do have the #54 fault code which is a blend door problem.
 
The sounds coming from the dashboard are most likely from the blend door shaft that has partially broken and is now making noises during the calibration process and or just the broken blend door moving during the temperature adjusting process.
 
It sounds like the blend door problem is getting worse and possibly the other blend door will be breaking in the near future.
 
Let me know what happens with cold air from one side and the heat for the other.
It sounds like a blend door problem, but if you need more help,

Can you provide the parts and procedure if I need to replace the doors and not lose the heat control for the passenger side?
 
I believe you indicated this would involve removning the dash. I have done some extensive repairs to my sons BMW in the past with instructions he got off the internet.
 
I am pretty mechanically inclined and have the time to do it as long as I have the step by step process.
