It may have broken and follen down into the door. You'll need to take the door handle cover plate off and see if you see it in there. It ataches to the mirror permanently as far as I've ever seen, so if it doesn't look fixable, you'll need to get another mirror and swap the guts to your mirror housing (so you can keep your color-matching housing).

Like Camaronewbie said theres no need to swap the mirror housing, just swap all the guts from the new mirror into your already painted mirror housing.

I think there is a flex cable attached to the lever.Try looking for the cable too.The mirror itself is held on by three screw inside the housing.Just angle the mirror to its max & undo them.
