Never imagined this could be related to an accident from 5 years ago, anyone have any input?

So this has me thinking the touch/proximity sensor or door harness may be damaged. I've also seen when these sensors get hit, they look ok and operate for a while, then water gets in and corrodes the circuit. Only way I know to test them is with a dealer tool and basically, you move the key fob close to each sensor and it gives feedback to the laptop.
When there is a short like this in the keyless access system, basically it all shuts down, and the fail safe is as you do, touch the key to the button to Verify to allow to start.
