Control system stops working when plugging in new actuator

Recently found out because my heat stopped working that I needed a new actuator in my vehicle. I took out the dashboard and remove the actuator and ordered a new one. Installing the new one today and when I plug it in the air conditioning in the front stopped working completely and the console lights turn off. Also, the back vents work really well.

Once I unplug the new actuator the lights come back on. The lights come back on the console the front vents start to work and then the back ones turn off.

The AutoZone group did not know what the deal was. Any ideas?
