Default Swapped dash now a/c only works on full cold otherwise hot air

I assume something to do with the air blend servo or related circuit but I double checked everything other so I thought basically I have to control over tempature anymore which worked before I did this so I'm certain it's something I did So DOES Anyone Have Any suggestions?

Did you only swap the dash, or did you change anything else like temperature controls (e.g. from beige to black), solar sensors in the corners, HVAC unit, etc.?

I've swapped dashes a couple times and never had any such issue.

I'd guess that sensor is bad or something didn't get plugged back in ... cabin temp sensor, sensor in the other corner of the dash (I always forget what it is), one of the HVAC connectors, etc.

Whenever I pull the dash, I put the harness back in with twist ties. The ridiculous harness routing is the main thing that makes pulling the dash difficult, and replacing tape with twist ties cuts out about 90% of that aspect. (The other 10% being the stupid junction box screwed to the bottom of the dash.) Doing it the first time sucks, but the second time around isn't much to fear if you go that route.
