Just finished a repair on our motor. Because of where it is mounted, spray from the tires while towing in wet conditions, hits the motor and eventually water might get in. The one spring on the carbons had turned to rust and failed.
Try applying 12 volts DC at the motor to see if it works.

As Dave mentioned, I also did a repair on the relatives 5ver this summer, same thing, spring on brush was disintegrated so the only spring I had was out of a pen, worked great for a replacement with a little tweaking. Take a light tester and check for power at the motor while someone is operating the switch, if you have power there, and the motor is properly grounded, you definitely have a motor problem...
