Default 04 350z soft top

OK long story short 04 350 z soft top Bought the car off a guy who put it together super quick lol. He painted it and Did a good job hes a avid "User" As I would later find out he really needed the money quick. There were about a 1000 problems with the vehicle I've fixed pretty much everything.
But I'm having a problem with the soft top.
The 5th bow motor is not getting enough power I read low voltage from the connector about 3 volts, To be honest car has been a nightmare this is one of the last thing I have to fix. Everything functions on the soft top. I've checked every single sensor. Everything works except for the 5th Bow motor. I've tested everything in the motor and it runs. I even replaced the brushes re soldered the connectors.
I'm not sure what motor operational voltage is but I'm pretty sure it's 12v i hit it with 12v 10amps and its functions. I'm having trouble tracing the wire back.
At this point I'm thinking it's a ground or a bad connection. Does anyone know where these connections meet?
I followed it to under the trunk just sick of looking at it Figured I might have some luck here.
Maybe a diagram or fuse location
I couldn't find any association with Fuses.

I will keep working on it and post solution if I find it.

I'm attaching the RF (roof) section of the FSM here. Hopefully, it helps you out.

Definitely helped out. Completed my understanding of the wiring. was checking the continuity on everything today. Figured it out. The continuity was not a strong to the 5th bow connector to the soft top controler so I am now rewiring it so yep now it's working. Old wire had tears in it.

side note with out diagram I would have had to check the continuity of every single wire would have taken forever thank you

Awesome! Glad it worked out for you and definitely appreciate you posting your fix for this to help others in the future. So many people create an account to ask a question and then disappear forever!
