A/C Switch 200 1987

I have an 87 245 gl with the old style rotary a/c switch. There are four connection points on the back and four connectors. A double green, and a green control the compressor clutch and a red, and a blue-yellow control the idle increase. My switch broke, so I cut the capillary tube and put the idle control and the compressor clutch control into two separate standard switches. That worked fine but then i wanted to have just the rotary switch, so I bought a new rotary switch and hooked it up but it doesn't work. I hooked up the four wires in all the combiantions i could think of but couldn't get it to work. First, what are the correct connections? (two on the back of the switch, top and bottom, and two on the side of the switch, top and bottom) Also does the switch work without the capillary tube connected? What is the tubes funtction? Can I just crimp off the tube and go to a new style rocker switch?
Thanks, Nick
