When I replace my heater core...I check all those lines for cracks, functionality, etc but didn't make a lot of notes. I even wrote some of this up but since my computer crash...haven't located the document.

My suggestion is look at what's suppose to happen with those doors during each operation and than connect those mini hoses to the correct port in the switch. This is assuming you have all the ductwork still out...otherwise it will be nearly impossible.

I would start with A/C MAX...all doors are closed to the cabin and it permits no fresh air in. Than work backward...let me know if this is helpful.
