I bought my car with the wing mirrors not working. I saw that the fuse was blown so I thought, great that's an easy fix.

So, I replaced the fuse and still it wasn't working. Next step was to take off the door panel and see what I could find. After taking the door panel off, the problem was easy to see. The wiring from the wing mirror switch was completely torn off, had no plug and was not actually connected to the wing mirror at all.

Does anyone know how to fix this myself or know if it's possible to buy this connection and wires? I can't find the necessary diagrams for the wiring and I can't find anywhere selling the part. I'll leave pics of the part below.

This is the connection out of the mirror, it seems to be intact. The connector looks like a 12 pin.

This is the part that was broken. The connection was in the driver's door power switch before I removed it. It has 6 wires and a white connector which plugs into the door switch.
