Passenger side fogged up
Its out of warranty so there won`t be any. a recall is for problems that can cause safety problems and a mirror doesn`t fall into this category.

Unlikely a 'short,' those cause blown fuses and smoking wires.
The switch may be flaky and not contacting as it should when operated and this failure mode is called an 'open.'
Not knowing exactly how the switch is constructed nor mounted, I can't tell you how how to access it.
Many switches have expansion struts on their sides that may lock or notafter being pressed in, but using care, you might try with two butter knives you don't give a hoot about, one to slip the tip under an exposed bezel (if it has one) and the other to place under the first so when you pry by rocking the top knife back and forth, the area under and around the switch doesn't get damaged from the prying.
If you can remove the switch assembly and pull it slightly out of its hole, remove the plug or plugs and reconnect them several times to 'wipe' the surface of the connector(s). Sometimes the crappy plating on connectors just stops conducting from oxidation.
If the switch is constructed so that some 'tuner (or contact) cleaner' (from an electronics store) can be forced into the innards of the switch, you may be able to restore function.
I don't think it is a fuse problem as there is probably one fuse which services multple devices but it could be a failed motor.

there should be a triangle shaped plastic section on the interior of the door behind the mirror, check it for a little plastic screw cover to remove it or you may just have to lever it gently to remove it.
once it is off it exposes the mirror retaining bolts which you undo to remove the mirror, I presume it has electric mirrors and if that is the case you will have to find the electrical wire plug for the mirror and pull it apart, replace mirror in reverse order of removing

Remove Old Mirror
Take the screw out and remove the molding panel that attached around the outside of the power mirror.
Remove the bolts connecting the mirror to the door assembly. If equipped, unplug the power side view mirror wiring harness connector.
Unplug the electric connectors, and pull the mirror out of the molding.

I have the same problem but I think it is caused by the control unit itself, it seems like it recirculates the air from inside even if you do not have it on recirculate. Let me know if you had this fixed so I know what I am facing. thanks
