Default Dash vents and defroster not opening, only floor. Any help or insight??

So on my recently acquired 95' ZJ the Vents and Defroster do not appear to be opening I went to a junk yard and swapped out the control unit (yes it worked in the salvage vehicle) hoping that was the problem, however it still did not work. I see the vacuum tubes and actuators behind the dash, but everything appears connected. I checked all the fused and made sure the vacuum tube was conncted in the engine bay.

Can some one please help me out with this, i have no idea what it could be or where to start. Thanks a lot guys/girls

Read this... was easier to just link you than explain.

OK, i checked vacuum going through the firewall into the connector tubes. I have vacuum all the way. I pulled the radio bezel and radio out and i watched the vacuum actuators opening and closing as they should. what else could be the problem???

please please help
