I added my own external ground wire. My hinges were not conducting
well.

It could be the ground connection. There is not an external grounding wire
on the motor. But I did get an arc when I touched the motor housing to the
windshield frame with a screw driver. The fuse did not blow and the motor
did not actuate. I actually took the motor (gear box/contact) apart and
inspected the internal components. It shows a lot of wear on the contact
brushes and the circular copper contacts also were heavily worn and
corroded. The worm drive gear also seemed to have alot of wear.

 

Thanks Mike, I'll give it a try.
