The motor works when connected directly to the same batteries, but not through the plug? Has to be the plug then or the wires connecting to it at the plug. If it was connected to different batteries or a 24V supply, you might have a bad cell in one of the batteries killing the current flow.

You didn't bypass a fuse or breaker when you connected directly to the batteries, did you? Could be corrosion that limits the current that can pass the safety device if you did. Fuses and inline holders can rust up and be a problem. A breaker that got wet can be the same way.
