In the motor has a relay card and a module inside the motor housing. It could be either. If you have never disassembled one It is advisable to bring it to a shop for repair. Relay card is around $90.00, the module is about $180.00.
Reason I said it could be either is I had a couple in the shop that did the same. One I replaced the relay card and fixed the problem. The other I replaced the relay card and it still had no reverse. I put the old replay card back and replaced the Module and it worked correctly. The module part I am not sure why it did that.
Is it ok to run without fixing it ?
Yes, but if module will continue to get worse.Originally Posted by twitch

Like completely fail. Motor will not run when module goes out.
That is not good news will have to bring it in before that happens
