Default 1995 Jeep Cherokee AC blowing out of defrost. Don't think it's a vacuum problem.

ac was working fine. needed to route some radio
wire so i unscrewed the ac controller in the dash.
there wasn't enough slack in the wires so i
disconnected 4 wires behind the fan speed control
and a big black connector from the top right of
the controller. after reconnecting everything the ac
only blows out the defrost vent. i know this is
symptomatic of a vacuum problem but i don't see
how what i did could cause a vacuum problem
when everything was working before. thanks for
any help. this is the part i'm talking about.

Bill ***: [lawnmower won't start] Karl, see if you can figure out what's wrong with this. It won't crank up and everything seems to be put together right.

Karl: It ain't got no gas in it.

Kudos to you!!! You have the dignity to post back.

We've all done that crap. LOL.
