Default Malibu A/C Mode Actuator Problem HELP!!!

I've replaced my mode actuator and I am still not able to change the modes (front vents, defrost, floor...) anyone have any idea of what else it could be that is not allowing me to change modes. Maybe a fuse or something??

Always check your fuses first. Do not over look the obvious.Also never power up the actuator without installing it first. It can jam when this is done and not work correctly. Double check everything you did and make sure it is installed correctly.

I did make the mistake of plugging in the actuator and trying it before installing it; however, it did nothing, as in it absolute didn't work which also made me think it would be a fuse. But I checked them all and they seem fine. Any idea of which exact fuse it would be.

If you checked them all and they were all good, I would next look at the switch that controls the actuator and the wiring to the actuator.
