Question 1999 996 Convertable Top Not Working

I have by past everything, and the clam shell works, I can put the top up and down, and the latch opens and closes. Put it all together, and nothing happens. This is one of my first projects where I am lost. I have replaced the regulators and micro switches on the windows, and they were all working. Since I operated the top all the windows went down, but now only the front windows will work, it is like the rear windows have been shut off.
I follow instructions very well, and have a Durametric Pro and I am getting a 5 code. Can any one point me in the right direction.....

Send me your email and i will send you a Dropbox link with manuals, etc., that includes after sales technical manuals with a detailed outline of how the tops work.There are many micro switches and one of them is probably not working.
