You might try slipping some heat shrink over the frayed wires, but usually the wires fatigue and break as well.

You can try to replace the wiring on it but probably have to replace the mirror assembly.

Had the same problem on my 98 S500 drivers side I just replace the mirror it was quit simple. Took off the cover three screws and unplugged it. The new mirror went right on it was a 20 min job no problems since. Hope that helps

If you do it yourself, MB parts are around $1600 for the entire assembly with housing. I'm doing my drivers side.
