Default 1987 convertible top issue

I have just acquired a 1987 Gt convertible and can not find the fuse and fuselink as shown on the wiring diagram that I pulled from the internet. The top will go up and down by jumping to the motor/pump, but I have no current to the relays. Can someone please inform this newby.

I have done that and there is no current. I also checked the fuse panel and can not find a fuse, nor circuit breaker marked for the top switch. The wiring diagram that I have shows a wire that is hot at all times with a circuit breaker that goes to the up and down relays, but I can not find it.

fuse position 5 in the fuse box is for the switch ...go back to the pump/relay assembly under the well liner behind rear seat and check for current with a test light on the BK/Y wire = wire from 30 amp circuit breaker, most of the time it's the pump motor that is DOA on these.

Thanks Guys, I have that the fuse box is toast, and will need to rewire everything from there to the battery.
