No able to change position of air flow from dash to defrost

Good evening,

The mode door control is vacuum operated. The control head sends a vacuum to the actuator to move it to the correct position.

I attached the procedure for replacing the actuator but you also need to verify the vacuum to the actuator for it to work.
