How can I get the window motor regulator to work on my 2000 ford mustang?

I am drawing power from the plug where you install the window's electric motor, and I know for a fact the the electric switch is working (I hooked up the switch to the passenger's side and it worked like a charm) also, the electric motor is working because I hooked it up to the car battery and grounded it and it started turning. All I can figure is that the aftermarket car alarm installed by the previous owner may be hindering it somehow. Just wondering if anyone has run into something like this and if so, what did you do?
 
Hmm.. Then it might be the window regulator itself. Im sure its cables with nylon clips in that door, so take a good look if any cables are damaged, if any clips or damaged, or even if the window sits correctly in the door. If everything looks in correct order, then there is still a possibility it can be the motor. What I would do is give power to the motor inside the door, and see if the motor is strong enough to lift it. If you are getting a whining sound from the motor, or you dont think its working as well as the other, replace the motor. If you get clunking, most likely its the regulator.
