Need help with wiring

I have a 3 switch outlet box in master bathroom. The box has five 14/2 cables coming into ti.
#1 is the source cable from gfci in my garage
#2 is to a receptacle outside on my deck
#3 is to a shower light in bath
#4 is to a Fan/ Light combo in the bath
#5 unknown

If I hook up the #1 to #2,3,or 4 by themselves, they power the intended fixture.
If I hook the #1 up to #5 by itself it trips the gfci in the garage.

Any help as how to wire this box with the receptacle on the deck and the shower light protected by gfci.

If this is new wiring it does not meet the code requirements for bathroom receptacles being on a dedicated 20 amp circuit. If it is existing the outside receptacle sounds like it is already downstream from the garage GFI.

Shower lights normally do not call for GFI protection.

If everything works the the cable is not needed. Not a problem. Perhaps something was removed from the circuit.
