You really have to shove the knob into the fender hard to get it to engage.

If your plastic gear was cracked, once you got the knob engaged, you shouldn’t be able to turn it.  Since your lights work fine, I am assuming there is nothing wrong with the mechanism.

The whole motor assembly/plate can be removed without pulling the radiator, but it’s a bitch, due to the limited access. There are three 10mm bolts (IIRC) that hold the motor plate to the drivers side fender.

My gear broke, so I had to replace it.  It probably took 2-3 hours to get that assembly out, so you will want to avoid it if you can.

You can practice with one of your windows and your hand crank...  the mechanism is basically the same.

also the micro switch what is on top must be disassembled .

But when you dont have this done before whit the radiator  still in place it's better and easier to take out the radiator first.

also easier to adjust the engine mount plate on the gear, and the micro switches
