It could either be a dodgy connection in the door join, behind the door card, or the element in the mirror has gone

If its the element, its just a case of replacing the mirror glass with a new one which is about £25

I would check the connections first, just to be safe

Not that I am aware of. Its a multimeter job buddy. Just check the resistance on the element from point to point
