Back to square one. The owner told me he operated the top up and down at least 5 times more the same day he left with no problem. Parked the car for one week, the partition switch is still bypassed, the top won't work again.

Open the latch, the windows go down. Hit the switch, beeps. Trunk is not locking.

Not sure when I will be able to get back to it, but I still am looking for answers to try.
