A few more symptoms might help or maybe run thru what has been done to diagnose the issue so you have concluded a motor is needed. Other than worn brushes or a stuck brush holder nothing else in the motor itself is prone to failure.

Far more often the problem is electrical and a well known issue is the stop light switch has failed or one of the fuses has blown. Other possibilities is a switch has oxidized contacts, there is a broken wire, a solenoid has failed, or in a 55 with the original control switch, corrosion on the wire terminals with a resulting poor connection. Another 55 known issue is road debris has hit and possibly moved or bent the solenoid and limit switch mounting bracket and the limit switch has been activated.
