If you can read 12V directly between the two terminals on the motor, then
the problem is inside the motor. If not of course, then there's a problem
with your wiring.
Do a quick resistance check between the terminals (wires disconnected)
before opening the motor up, you should read a fairly low (roughly 3 ohms)
resistance. If you do, then the problem is likely mechanical. If it shows
open (as I expect it will), the problem is electrical. My vote for most
likely would a brush that has slipped out of place (or the entire holder).
