Yes I have worked on it before. Car has been in my family since 1977 I've had it for the last 20 years. Already had access panel off. Connected 9 volt battery two the window motor. All I hear is a clicking sound.

9 volt? Aren't the wires for the motor screwed on? Disconnect them & hook up 12 volts to the motor. Then change polarity. Also try tapping on motor while your doing it.
