oh that’s interesting, there’s a 10 Ohm resistor in series on the 5V pin of the CAN bus connector on the stormcore. That resistor is in place for 4WD application to safely connect two 5V rails together for simultaneous bootup with one button.
R101 is the 10 Ohm resistor, could try to remove it and put a short on it or a 0 ohm resistor
on the TOP side, just left of the CAN connector, remove the two long screws on the front, then you should be able to press on the plastic shroud to unclip it. If it’s still not coming, loosen the 4 bottom screws, the plastic shroud should come off
