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.
