yo,
Good stuff;
Have you tested @ motor for power w/either key of drivers switch engaged? And pushed ******* tg driver side high to ensure latch safety switch is engaged?
Here is Steve83's tg tech Link that includes all of what the Bronco brothers advised:
Motor Replacement; "...If the motor runs but doesn't move the glass, push the glass up for access. The glass is strong enough to support its own weight fully extended, but no extra weight..."

miesk5 note,
I got in the back and removed tg access panel as you prod did to apply 12 v from a cordless drill battery or use jumpers from another batty to test motor @ motor connector. To raise glass I used a small suction cup like a toilet plunger to inch the glass up from inside far enough to get to it by hand outside.
Tooluxe 4-3/4 Inch Single Handle Suction Cup for Glass $6.99 @ SEARS..I think they have a smaller size too that comes as a kit of 2 for almost same $

I use a standard height saw horse with a blanket folded to support da glass.. make sure the tailgate is resting DOWN fully (horizontally) by pushing or sitting on it before pulling glass out by hand (or closing driver side Latch by hand and using Key sw or driver's Dash switch to energize motor) and sliding saw horse under da glass...the cables need to fully stretched...
