wing mirror not working

[bmw335icoupe]

hello,

so my passenger wing mirror is not working

changed the mirror with the driver side and it works.

changed couple of switches and no improvement.

when I operate the switch there is a clicking noise from the glove box

any input will be much appreciated..

thanks

Neither of mine work but then neither side has the original door or mirror so the wiring could not have been connected properly so I'm following this anyway.

Clicking noise is probably from the mirror. There's one motor in the mirror, plus a solenoid that determines whether the mirror moves sideways or up/down. What you are hearing is almost certainly the solenoid working as it should.
Each mirror has a 12 volt supply to the motor, which is live all the time the ignition is on. This wire is blue/white, and the one to the passenger side mirror passes through both A pillar plugs and sockets where the door looms plug into the body, so is subject to the same electrolytic corrosion that affects the well known central locking red/black wire. Problem can be in the A pillar socket either side.
