The motors rarely go out... 80% chance you just have to remove the track assembly+motor+etc, clean it out really good with brake-clean..... then re-lube with tube-style lithium grease. Worked for my sunroof stuff... and plenty of people on here have good luck with this method on the windows.. I'll be doing it in the next month or so.

Yeah... clicking might be too late for you. The clicking usually means the track or the gear is worn down. You CAN shim it like they do with the sunroof gearboxes... but, thats only a workaround... not a fix.

Clean the switches. They corrode and dont give solid electrical contact.
