Broke more than I fixed today...

I have a '98 Boxster and was switching a convertible top with a bad window with a used top assembly that is in better condition. I broke the plastic mount that holds the rear window defrost plug and then ran the wires for the microswitch on the driver's side incorrectly. When testing the top, the clip that holds the microswitch wires broke and the motor went past the point it should - and wouldn't reverse.

I ended up bending both transmission arms popping the ball joints for the cover off - so I could get access to the area and now that there isn't anything attached to the transmissions, they aren't turning still. I checked the fuses but then ran out of steam.

Does anyone have a diagram of how the wires for that microswitch is run? Boy, I was convinced it was going to be a simple job of removing the 3 fasteners on each side...
