Very often a hammer bump to a DC motor (an automotive starter motor) will restore operation (once, maybe twice) because you're restoring brush (the carbon brushes inside the motor) contact to the armature. Try a continuity test through the motor. If it's open (no continuity) you might have cooked the winding in it or it may be as simple as servicing the armature and replacing the brushes.
