4-way water valve - need schematic

Dummy here did not mark the connections to the 4-way water valve. All I should have done is to mark each connection with a different colored Sharpie.

I removed two of the hoses from the valve and the hose from the fill port in order to be able to get the faceplate away from the panel so that I could install a larger plywood panel for mounting the replacement water pump. I got something wrong. The first plumbing routing had the pump working (drawing water out of the tank) when in city mode. Once it built pressure, it shut off properly. I switched the two lines that I had removed expecting all to be good. Now the pump draws water from the the tank and builds pressure to a degree but the pump never shuts off. Image of the 4-way valve I am referring to attached.

Does anyone have a water schematic? I am presuming that the water fill port goes to the 4-way valve (just trying to eliminate variables).

I have thought about this a bit. If I know the input to the valve, I can use low pressure compressed air and the various valve positions to figure which hose connects to which port on the 4-way valve. In other words, if I set the valve to tank, I connect various hoses to the port that has air flowing out until I have air entering the fresh water tank. Same process for :"city" valve selection I should be able to get air flow out of a faucet. Then the valve to pump hose is the only one remaining (I did not disconnect the 4th hose on the bottom of the valve).

My request is that someone who has access to their MH that has the same style valve (With the 4 switch positions in the same place) to reach under the fill port and follow the hose to the valve. Does the hose attach at the left, center or right port on the 4-way valve?

Marked up image valve attached - trying to convey the same as the words above.
