The only time the kitchen area blows is when the front one is on. Is this the way it's supposed to work? The 2nd one seems to run alot more than the front one does. Is there something wrong with the sensor that I don't know about or is the 2nd one on its way out also?

I'll assume your MADP is nearly the same as my Essex ... 3 rooftop A/C units and (in my case) HydroHot. My thermostat shows 4 zones. 3 zones are for Air/Heatpump and 1 zone is for HydroHot. My zones are designated 1,2, and 4 for the rooftop units (yours may be different but the operation is the same). Zone 3 is HydroHot.
If I turn on zone 1, I can hear the front A/C and feel cool air progressively from front, mid (kitchen), hall bath, and finally the bedroom. Zone 2 (alone) is strongest in kitchen and hall but quite noticeable in front and bedroom. Zone 4 is forceful in bedroom and progressively less in hall, kitchen, and finally the front. In other words, I get cool air in all rooms from any of the 3 A/C units. And, as expected, the most forceful is directly under the unit being used. Since the ductwork is interconnected front to rear, any A/C unit should reach any room.
In your example, with only the mid unit running, you should feel cool air all the way from the front to the bedroom with the most cool air in the kitchen and hall.
I am currently in Florida and it is 82 degrees outside. I am running the front A/C (1 unit) and it is 76/74/74/73 at the four sensors (front to rear). Sun is on the front. I have 3 - Dometic 15K Brisk II heatpumps and a CCC2 thermostat. Everything is about 3 years old.
