Help w/'66 Continental vacuum tubes in doors

I have recently taken back my 1966 4-door convertible from an auto shop that agreed to restore my car (and assured me they could handle the project)! After 3 1/2 years, I now have about 1,000 parts to put back together (yes, all they did was take it apart).

I am taking this one step at a time and am currently working on the driver's door. I have installed both of the windows, motors, brackets, etc. However, there are 3 vaccuum tubes that enter both the driver and front passenger doors that I can not find a picture of or mention of in my service manual. These 3 tubes are in addition to the 2 vacuum tubes that go to the remote lock assembly in the bottom, rear corner of each door.

Does anyone know where I can find additional information on the three mystery vacuum tubes?

Thanks in advance!

It appears that "Willard" on that board might be able to answer your questions with authority!

Good luck!

Thank You for the fast response!!!:)

I obviously need to find the door lock switch that is mounted in the middle of the door panel! I'm sure it is in one of the dozens of boxes of parts that I have!!!
