Have you checked for power coming from the switches?

Check and make sure you get power to the motor when you hit the switches. If you do, replace the motor.

I'd by-pass the switch to make sure the motor was bad before replacing it...may just have dirty switch contacts, or a bad switch. Paper clip and a few pin touches here and there would let you know if the motor was not functioning.

There are at least two that I am aware of. Possibly even three..... Figger out which ones DO work... the one that doesn't is the one you wanna play with.
