Convertible Top Help. New problem I promise!

I bought this boxster 99 with the top being operated manually. I fell for the seller’s trick saying “it was just the control rod plastic thing broke”. I ordered the new control rod but before installing I noticed that now when I press the button to open or close, I cannot hear the motor running at all. Handbrake “park” sign comes on the dash when I pull up the handbrake so that is not the issue. Windows come down when I unlatch, so it’s not the latch. D3 fuse is fine. It’s currently in manual operation (push rods and control rods disconnnected). However i’m not sure what to fix since I hear total silence when I press the button. I was thinking maybe the motor is dead? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated before I start replacing parts that are not needed to be replaced. Not sure this matters but I got some noise out of the motor after letting the car run for 20 mins. Then back to dead silence again.
