So, I'm trying to make a dc motor act like a switch so that whenever it is turned and produces a positive voltage, it will activate another sensor or turn on a light, basically acting as a replacement of a button or a switch. Any tip on how to make it?

How to make a DC motor act as some sort of switch

No I’m suggesting you dump the motor and drive a relay with an Arduino output . Use the relay contacts to switch your load .
