Motor Controller Question

I am working on a Genie GS-2646 lift, can not locate SN plate or stamping, that is a 24v system (4 - 6volt batteries). I have a question on the 24v dc motor controller. I am getting 24.8v at B+, new 2 ga ground to B-. When I activate lift up, terminal 1 shows 24.7V and terminal 3 is giving 5.6V, which all checks out according to the genie motor troubleshooting guide. Intermittently the motor will work, but more often than not, I show 24.8V on M-. Is there any cause for M- to show voltage, aside from a bad motor controller? I want to make there are no other possible conditions that would cause controller to show voltage on M- before ordering a new controller. Any advice would be appreciated, and if needed I can attach the schematic I have since I can't provide SN.

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
