12 volt wires are just plumbing. All you have to do is follow the wires.

A digital volt meter or a test light to check for power as you go is required.

Start by looking where the fellow did the work. Wires shorted to the body when the mirrors were worked on might be a place to start. Any large wad of electrical tape is also a good indication that things require attention.

Check the light in the dash first and then just follow the wires. Take your time, this is a nice way to learn what goes where on your new coach.

Have Fun.

I can't speak to your English Bulldog, but Maggie and Casey are veteran travelers - long ago in my large 1-ton van, then a little class C SOB, and finally StaRV II. And they LOVE to go - when I start packing, the bouncing and chattering starts. An amateur astronomer, I hit several star parties each year, and the Dynamic Duo has about 40K miles of experience.

Being Golden Retrievers, they needed little breaking in to longer trips (Goldens are genetically engineered for Riding in the Truck), but your EB may need some conditioning.

Travel in a motorhome is far more relaxing to Maggie and Casey, as they can walk around, eat, drink, and stretch in the coach. And also sleep...Big Grin

An English bulldog could have breathing difficulty in hot weather. Check with a couple of vets. I have had two Boston terriers of similar nose and jaw construction, and will have no more for that reason. I love both Bostons and EBs, but all our RV dogs gotta be free breathers.

Our Barth has two thermostat-controlled ceiling vent fans for when the animals are left in the RV. Either fan moves plenty of air, but one is there if the other fails. I keep a min/max thermometer inside to learn how to manage settings on the fans. In addition, we set up an Endless Breeze for them. I also recommend it for people, BTW. Moves a lot of air for a little power.
