Default 96 Headlamp motor

I rebuilt both headlamp motors with new gears and bushings when I bought the car last year and the headlamp rotator motors have worked perfectly since then...
until today. The left headlamp will not move, does not try to move and makes no noise. Plug/un-plug had no affect and the headlamp does come ON.

Is there a controller or what's the deal?
Just answered my own question. Boy, its amazing the answers Goolge comes up with, if you ask specifically enough.
Okay, so I'll pull out the headlamp module and check for damage.

In the mean time you can jump 12v to the motor not working to see if it moves.
