The switchover (green arrow on black knob) performs two functions:

One, which you heard, is to operate a vacuum pot that redistributes airflow.

Second, it also switches current from the heat/defrost fan to the A/C fan.

If your fan works when you apply 12V to it, I'd suspect the switchover or the blower regulator, with more emphasis on the former.
