My passenger side electric mirror isn't working .
Drivers side works fine but when i switch over to pass i just get a clicking at the driver side mirror.
Fuses are ok and there doesn't seem to be any corrosion in the door plug or socket.
anyone any ideas?

Have you tried taking the mirror glass off and having a look at the motor? The motors have some very fragile parts - little plastic racks to move the glass etc.
Alternatively, try moving the mechanism by hand without removing the mirror andthen see if it starts working again. It might just be a bit stuck.

Won't be the motor. Even if the plastic rack is broken, you'll still hear the motor whirring away.
Most likely cause is the switch in the driver's door, followed by the door to A pillar plug and sockets. Don't forget the passenger side signal passes through both of these.
