I haven't had any problems with mine, have you had any other electrical problems? I'd check the fuse.

I know this message is old, but thought I could still help someone in the future...
I have the same problem with a 2001 Sport Trac... nothing works. Using wiring diagrams, I verified the hot wire, the acc wire, and the switch wires, from the open, close, and vent switch (which, btw, and negative switched).
Talking to a few people, I found 2 others who had the same problem. And locating a used motor to replace it is near impossible, not to mention $130 and up for what I did find.
My solution?
2 - 12V DPDT relays from radio shack, 3A relays are fine, since the motor draws only about 1 amp. With a little knowledge of reversing circuits, it was simple to do.
First, remove the circuit board from your motor, a little desoldering braid does the trick. Desolder the 8 points from the wiring harness, and the 2 motor connections. Then solder 2 wires to the motor connections, and drill a hole in the case large enough for the wires to come out.
That's the hard part.
I don't have the vent function, but it was a simple solution, that cost $20 in materials, and allowed me to use the original switch.
