Typically the motors do go bad, see if your getting power to it, if you are then the motor probably burnt out.

I replaced mine with a brass gear, it was as good as new and will last the life of the car.

check the wiring. remove the plastic piece that wraps around the lights. then you get a real good look at them. had similar problem, somehow wires got twisted up, straightened them out. everything ok since
