Does the other side move in all 4 directions ?
If no, then it is the dash control switch.
If yes, it is the mirror. There are little plastic arms that come from the motors.
these can break and are not replacable or the motor is NFG.
Does the glass wobble about when driving?

The coloured 'backs' of the mirrors come of.... all be it with a LOT of patience & care. Its best to start from the bottom with a hard plastic/wood object (a knife/screwdriver will more than likely damage the miror housing). Time consuming but worth it! Once of you should be able to see if theres any damge. TBH it would be easier & prob not much more expensive to replace the mirror
