Mine was not working so I took it out of the frame cleaned and replaced the grease in the gear box.  I also cleaned the brushes while I had the motor out. It now works.  To make the reassembly easier I cut a slot in the motor mount with a dremel tool so I could reinstall the motor without disconnecting a lot of wiring.  The motor runs just fine now but  I still have other problems with the radio.  For what its worth.
