Hi All,
I am also facing the same issue with my motor driver. Initially I ran the code and connected the L298N with arduino and it worked fine. At that time motors were running absolutely fine. But when I ran it sometimes later then the motors are not running. However the motors are getting power but I think thy are getting very less power from the Motor Driver.
I directly ran motors from Arduino +5V pin and the motors were running fine. Is there something wrong with my L298N motor driver?
One more thing I checked the power for all the pins for L298N motor Driver and all pins are working fine.
Somebody kindly help!
No code. No circuit diagram. No details of the components. What is there to help with?
Generally if something was working and then it wasn't working you've almost certainly changed something. Whatever it was, change it back.
Oh and running motors from the Arduino 5V pin is a very bad idea.

Maybe you can take a look at this link here:

Also ----- there is a driver drv8835 that can be run in parallel ------ another alternative over the big size L298N. The L298N is ok though.
The L298 driver is old, inefficient and weak. It overheats and shuts down if you try to use it with high current motors.
Post a link to the motors (or determine the stall current), and we can suggest a more appropriate driver.

You will eventually destroy the Arduino doing this. Use a separate motor power supply, and connect the grounds.
