Here does it look like this when the connector is split a part once you remove the 7mm bolt?
Photo showing what the vacuum hose nipples should look like versus collapsed nipples:

And there should only be 5 hoses.

Ok you are very close to the correct location. Follow that connector to where it goes to...probably goes down and under your dashboard. That very connector controls all the moving actuators that work your HVAC system. And most importantly it controls the actuator that moves the air flow door!
So follow it to the other side of that connector and pay attention to the violet colored one.....
Good Job for even attempting to do this on your own!!!bs2

Does the air you do have coming out from the vents even get very cold or very warm upon moving the temp control **** one way or the other?
And where does the airflow come out of...does it come out the location you select or is it stuck on heater/floor mode and defrost windshield mode??
Can you successfully make the air come from only the main vents blowing strait at you???
Lastly when you select the airflow direction, do you hear a slight hissing sound come from under or behind the dash????
Your answers will determine where and what you do from here.

The Blue vacuum hose shown here is the one that controls the "Bi-level Valve/Vacuum Actuator" AKA Bi-Directional Actuator.
Another words.....this Vacuum hose (colored Blue) will supply the vacuum to open or close the airflow door.
