Where is the panel /defrost vacuum control motor located?

Hey everyone, I have the opposite of the classic problem of the climate control only blowing out the defrost vents on my truck.
I can get air to blow to all locations except the defrost vents. I have done most of the pinpoint tests from the Ford workshop manual. I need to check on the actuator above but I cannot see where it is. Something must be blocking the linkage from returning to the no vacuum position.

This actuator can be found behind the stereo. If you had to change it you would likely pull off as much of the lower dash as you could. So I pulled my stereo out again and started pulling out all the extra wire and cables that were bunched up and placed back there. It turned out that my harness from my outfitter switches was blocking the actuator from returning to the "no vacuum" position.

I had installed these switches myself and fished this harness into position not knowing the correct route. Obviously my route was wrong.
