Ford Repair: 2000 Ford Mustang Convertable Rear Window Motor access, mustang convertable, haynes manual

Question
I own a 2000 ford mustang convertable (V6 3.8L) with standard sound system.  Recently my left rear window has not been moving at all.  When i activate the switch for the window i can tell that power is being drawn (the interior lights dim slightly, and the engine idle drops slightly as well).  But i don't hear any noise coming from the motor.  i have a haynes manual for my car that describes how to remove the door panel for access to the front window motors, but it doesn't have anything about access to the rear ones.  Any help on how to access this motor?  and or trouble shooting to make sure it is the motor and not something else?  Thanks.  

Answer
Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.
The only way for you to test it is to use a 12v test light at the motor connector (disconnected) and see if you have voltage when the switch is pressed in either direction.
It most likely IS the motor.
