Had the same problem, and figured it out...

When I replaced mine about 2 years' ago, the same thing was happening. The motor would buzz, but the mast would not retract when trying to feed the new cable in. Turns out, the motor needs to be grounded. I found this out because I touched the something metal at the bottom of it and got shocked! I ran a wire from that spot (I think it was one of the screws that holds the case together) and attached the other end to ground (one of the screws under the plastic lip on the bottom rear end of the luggage compartment -- attached it right to the metal part of the compartment). All worked great after that.
The assembly grounds itself to the rear fender as it is installed. Once removed, you have to ground it yourself.
Good luck!
Joe
