So on my 5g, my passengers side wing mirror doesn't work, what's the likely reason behind this? And I can't find the fuse for this! Some help would be great cheers!

They aren't individually fused.
What doesn't work on it? Any of the direction changes? Some of them?
When you press the buttons can you hear it trying to do anything?

If nothing works, start out by checking that it is actually plugged in! (someone might have taken it off before and not bothered plugging it back in after because they couldn't be bothered removing the doorcard.)

The directions don't work, I can't hear any sounds either when I press the buttons for it, I checked the plug and it's plugged in -_-

Try a different switch. Could be that the part which selects the left hand mirror (as opposed to the right hand) is knackered - that would mean you get nothing.

I'm assuming the window and door locks work ok on the passenger door... (which means the earth over that side is good).

Ok this is so bizarre, I just got bk from holiday, and discovered my passenger wing mirror works, sort of. When I move the joystick left or right, it goes left and right, but when I press up and down, it still goes left and right?

:think: sounds like a knackered switch then, or dirt/water in a plug somewhere (either in the passenger side door, or at the plug itself)
