Do you hear the motor run after it turns off?
It's probably not the motor since it still opens. There are 3 parts that can go wrong if it's anything like the C4 lights and it probably is. The nylon gear, the nylon bushings or the piece that holds the bushings. My guess is that it's the nylon bushings. Take it apart and replace them with pieces of a steel rod the same diameter and cut to the same height. If it's the part that holds the bushing, it's usually that the cast piece has stripped from the steel rod. I fixed mine by drilling a hole close to the bottom, through the rod and then inserted a roll pin. I went through the thick section. If it's the gear, I replaced mine with the brass replacements from Ecklers. Everything's still running fine and it's stronger than ever before.
Hope this helps. BTW: Replacement motors from the dealer for a C4 runs $400, not including labor and they don't sell individual pieces to fix them.
