Default Convertible top pump?

I think my pump is low on fluid. it's moving slow like there's not much pressure in th lines or something. i found out that when the car was made (89) they used type A automatic transmission fluid. Since that's no longer available, i've found that all of the new mustang convertibles use mercon tranny fluid. That's what i got, but where the heck is the pump. i thought it was under the back seat but its not. Any ideas before i start unscrewing interior panels. anyone filled the pump before and have working knowledge of a fox ragtop, please chime in. THanks.

on the pump there is a triangular shaped plug. you just unscrew it and you can fill it through there

Mine has a rubber plug in one end, PITA to get out. You have to work at it with a set of needle nose pliers.
