If ( R ) on the indoor unit is connected to ( G ) on the thermostat
and ( G ) on the indoor unit is connected to ( R ) thermostat then
with the fan on it would connect G to R and with the cooling on R
to ( Y ) with ( G ) OFF
Check the wire colour on the indoor Unit R - Y - W - G and make
sure these are connected to the right thermostat terminals

By "Indoor Unit" I assume you mean the furnace blower?

yes, that is correct (or air handler if you have a heat pump)

All of the wiring seems to be correct in accordance with the
installation instructions. And still, when I turn the "Heat-Cool"
switch "Off" and move the fan switch from "Auto" to "On" the fan comes
on. If I put the fan switch on "Auto" and turn the AC to "Cool" the
AC fan comes on and cold air enters the building, but wothout the fan,
it does not move and the AC unit soon freezes up.
