Default Antenna/Motor problem

Hello all, I was getting ready to change the antena on my '01 RX300. I had a feeling that it might not be the antena as I didn't hear the motor. Well, my suspicions were true. This is what I found when I opened up the motor. I guess water might've gotten in and corroted the electronics board of the motor. Is this board something that can be purchased separately, or do I have to purchase the whole motor. Also, the white harness that plugs into the motor has signs of corrosion, can this harness be purchased?

Make sure the drain hose is routed out correctly through the bottom of the fender. I just replaced my motor too, but for a different reason. Took less than an hour. I didn't want to pay $170 (that's a discounted price) for a new one, so I found one on eBay for about $70 plus shipping. Good luck!
