Default Heater control Valve issue

So my ac is blowing hot air on any low setting except max cold air where I get cold air. So I replace my heater control valve and now I only get cold air and no heat

Okay, so yes, there a total of four. Two control heat, one on drivers left side and one on right passenger side, the one you changed. All four are located in the center section of the dash and three of the four are located where you changed the passenger heater servo.

I know TMI but now we have that out of the way, let’s troubleshoot.

Since you changed the servo, do you see it moving when you adjust the passenger heat from cold to hot and hot to cold?
if so, do you have enough coolant in the radiator and is the engine warmed up?
