Intermatic Timer Help

The timer on my pool isnt working, I just moved in this year and havent needed the timer, but just noticed the gears are not turning on it.
I look at some images, videos on wiring and then looked at mine(didn't remove the cover)
But the wires I can see don't match up with what I expect to see going to the terminals. I will remove cover tonight, but i'm wondering if the timer was never setup? Is the manual switch going to operate if the timer was never set up correctly? Manual switch does work.
This is coming from someone who thinks electricity is akin to witchcraft but I can install a new light or outlet just have no idea how it works.

Need to see the wiring with the black insulator off. Turn the breaker off before you pull it as the bare terminals will be exposed. Its safer that way.
There is no "setup" to that timer other than put on the trippers and set the clock. Does the dial move on its own? Yes-you just need trippers. No-it may be in the wiring or the clock motor is just bad.

The motor turns the dial which, with the trippers, will move the lever from the back to on or off. Motor can be dead and you can move the lever.

Please send a picture of the wiring with the black insulator removed
