Thanks Stormtroopers, I did find and read this link before I took it apart and I was hoping my part would have looked like the one in the thread but it is totally different. I was hoping that I could solder up the two tabs but there wasn't two tabs and it had a very different motor design. Basically the worm drive shaft was directly connected to the coils that make up the motor and I guess somewhere inside the plastic cover is where the wires to the brushes were. Should have take a photo of it. I hope opening it up and putting it back together somehow made those internal brushes make more contact and that is why it is working now. I didn't re-grease anything because it looked pretty clean but do you think I should open it back up and do anything?Here is a link

Not the link I used but close enough, I changed my ADD out 3 years ago. I chipped a tooth in mine.
