The motor could be at end of life. Try connecting the mirror from the right side to the left side and make sure it works properly. If it does not work properly, the problem is not with the mirror unit, but is an electrical issue. If it works properly (this is more likely) then you may need to replace the faulty mirror. You can use any left side fto mirror and simply switch the internals over. Keep us updated.

If you need to take the mirror apart, be careful when removing the glass. There are 2 clips and 2 slots holding the glass to the unit. I cant remember if the clips are top, or bottom. Glass is easily removed if you pull with even force along the edge of the glass, trying to get your fingers in behind it for extra support.
