Default Headlight problems

I just got my vette fixed after having it lay down for about 6 months. However, my left headlight is now giving me problems.

I replaced the bushings about 10 months ago, so those should be ok. However, the left one doesn't move at all when the switch is engaged. I can, however, turn the **** by hand.

Am I looking at a dead headlight motor?

Thanks much.

Sounds like the plug for the head light motor is not pushed in all the way.
Need to get out the test light and check for power in the wires.
