I have no understanding of the logic about using a 'motor' to insert the key into the dash. Newer cars have remotes that stay in the pocket or purse, and a stop/start button.

If the battery terminals are corroded, I suggest getting a terminal cleaner/brush and cleaning the posts and the loop at the end of the wire. Go out and buy a battery 'minder' to give the car a full charge. That usually solves the 'key' motor problem and other 'flukes'. BTW, when cleaning battery terminals, remove the negative wire first and reattach it last.
