Default Mode servo issues

Hey guys? hoping you could help me out. I have an 01 gs with 68k on it. My upper AC died on me awhile back and only would shoot to the floor (when display says face). I just put a new mode servo in and now it's only blowing thru the defroster (when it says face). Is there a specific place I need to put the little spring attached tit into the servo motor? When I turn the car on, I see it move, so I know the new servo is working. Just not correctly

From what I understand is you don't have the spring attached in the correct place. How much did it cost to get it fixed? Mine needs to be replaced as well.

figured it out, just didnt have the mode servo arm connected to the other servo arm, so it was just stuck at the defroster. easy fix. the whole thing only took 30 mins, i ordered my servo off ebay for $94 new, msrp was over $200, and wholesale was in the 170's. i suggest you look there for a new in bag servo.
