Headlight motor on the TAs

Wanting to know how can you tell if the motor or if its the gear is bad on the TAs. My passanger headlight wont do anything when I turn the switch, but I can crank it manually and it will go up and down with no problem.. Also I turn the switch and listen and dont hear anything (checking to see if the motor kicks on).. any ideas?

unplug the conector and hook it to a direct sorce of power and ground and see if it works but always check the easy stuff first fuse relay make sure the conector and wires look good no bair spots or corrosion

If you can manualy crank it up and down with no problems, binding, jumping, grinding, etc. you most likly have a power problem. Check for power and ground at the motor connector.
