I picked up a panzer III where the gun didn't go up and down. I found a loose wire, then I could see the gears twich and still not move. I opened up the gear box, turned the motor over by hand once, works a treat now.

Get a multimeter, check the power is getting through first. As for the turret going round and round, must be shorting out with the lights or something else the is powered all the time. A visual check of the connection should show a wire or solder crossing over
