pull the mech for the glass out the runner and see if the motor works. On mine the motor is fine but the rest seizes every now and again, a common fault i think.

try putting a live and earth on the motor itself then you will know if its knackered

try a test light /voltmeter to the window loom as the motor tends to seize up you might think its dead when it just needs freeing up they tend to collect water i freed mine at the wk end just by undoing the two pozi screws on the motor pulling the housing up then screwing it back down .max
