Default Door lock issue... Replaced Motor...Still not working

hey guys I just replaced the motor in by driver side door for the lock actuator and my door still does not lock. I have a voltmeter and want to test the plug going to the motor but does any one know which wires on the plug controls the motor? I want to test to see if its getting voltage but not sure which one it is.....

Um if you have a meter, just put the leads on the wires, the meter is gonna give you a reading no matter what, if its a cheap one and doesnt give a reading then just swap the leads to the other wires.

Do you hear it clicking at all? If you do, you might want to check the cables. The little plastic tabs they snap into right next to the locking lever sometimes break and it loses all its leverage to pull the lock.

Before installing the motor, did you clean the grease off of the connection points??
