Sounds like the teeth in the retractor cable are busted. You have to pull your fender, remove the motor, crack it open and clean it out. Then feed a new cable into it. The cable is plastic and is prone to breakage. The motor should be fine. The quick fix is to remove the antenna and cable thru the antenna hole. Then feed a new cable into it. The problem with the quick fix is the bits of plastic are still inside the motor.
