To determine if it is the motor or the headlamp (rotating) assembly, pull the lock clip and back the motor out of the assembly to see if the swivels have rusted or are full of highway bugs/debris.

If the assembly rotates freely, unplug the motor and unscrew the ground wire and bracket and bench test the motor. The case has to be grounded and the spade connectors will operate it each way when 12volts is applied to each one.

If that's ok, check the headlamp switch and connections.
