Could be a number of things.
1. The teeth on the plastic rod could be be stripped after 1/2 lift.
2. The motor has a switch geared off it and it could have slipped.
3. The aerial mast might be seized up.
Just as easy to bin it and buy one from GSF or Euro car prats.
If its the original Hirschman aerial the motors do burn out.
