Is that noise coming from the switch or the door? If it's coming from the door, you probably have a shot regulator and not a shot motor. Excess current from a jammy regulator can kill the switches along with the motors, so your new switch may have gone south too.

Coming from the switch. The switch/motor gets power but it gives my test light a dim light.

Check the ground and power pins into the switch, especially the ground. Blackened female pins are easy to miss, and overheated ground pins are a fairly common issue.
