On what car?

Based on a 9n I'd assume:

Headlight out,(bumper and grill off first) unplug motor, test for voltage. Check mechanism is free to move, not jammed up etc.
If mechanism is free, and volts present,but there's no movement, it's time for a new motor.
If there're no volts, check switch, then cables.
