I removed it and tested the wiring and it’s good. The motor just makes a clicking noise when moving the switch backwards and nothing moving it forward. Can the motor be replaced?

At the switch I would test the ground and power outputs when the switch is in the forward position. Here is a guide to help you with the testing. You may have a bad switch or motor as well.
