Okay, 12v across the terminals. I turned it on again and with a little
fustration tapped the housing with the handle of a screw driver, it moved!!
Not much but it moved. Then stopped, tapped again, moved again. I'm now
thinking bad contacts around the brushes or the arms?

And did you check the voltage across the terminals (not just across the
wires) ?
If you're getting 12v there, then either the field winding is open (I was
wrong before, 12 amps would probably not blow the fuse), or the motor is
mechanically jammed somehow.
