Drivers window dead

The driver's window decided to call it quits today on my 08 RL. It won't go down at all. I hear a click in the door when I push the switch, so I'm assuming it's not the switch and is probably the motor. Is there a test procedure available? Even a guide to remove the door panel would be helpful.
Thanks!

Be sure to check your fuses first. No 7, 21, and 27 in the driver's kick panel go to the driver's MPCS unit.

Door panel removal guide is here: https://acurazine.com/forums/second-...irrors-911689/

In the POWER WINDOWS.pdf portion of the service manual, the power window motor test starts on page 62. Disconnect the 6-pin connector in the bottom right corner. Power pins for the driver and right rear door are 4 and 1. For down 4 = gnd & 1 = 12V. For up it's the opposite. For the passenger and left rear door, the pins are 3 and 6 respectively.

Perfect. Thank you- that gets me a good start. I'll start at the fuses as suggested and go from there.

Mine did the same thing !

It would click and not go down ! Thought it was a motor but went for a drive and push the button down few times and just tapped the door glass and boom it worked .
