Simple question, How do you test your driver side regulator motor?

I don't know if it's my master switch or my motor dying on me, but I want to connect the battery to the motor to test if the motor is still running.

Here is my problem: The connector's to the regulator have 4 pins. Which one does what?

Here is a look at it:

First I would take the door panel off and see if there is power going going to the connector at the window motor. Get a volt meter. Hit the switch and see if youre getting 12v at the connector. The motor only has two wires. Power and ground.

To test the motor itself. Run power and ground wires directly from the battery to the motor connector. Switching the wires will just make the motor run in the other direction.
