I'd check the contacts which 'link' between the internal cable drum and
the motor etc.

They are quite thin and do break, also can be intermittent. Easy to
replace and not expensive (under £5) off EBay.

Depending on your skill levels and access to a suitable screwdriver
and multimeter, you should be able to access the insides (with it
unplugged) and test for continuity up to the motor etc.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned 'a suitable screwdriver'. ;-)

FWIW I thought they were self tapping screws directly into the plastic
(rather than machine screws into bushings or captive nuts) and I
thought the heads weren't straight X head for some reason.

Yes. Very stiff coarse thread *wood screws* directly into the plastic.
One set X head one set Allen socket, 3.5mm?

A cable break does not leave the light on.

Sounds credible.

Quite.
