Default electronic issues after body work

so i picked up my car from the body shop after being rear ended and noticed two distinct problems.

1. When i lock/unlock the car the turn signals no longer flash.

2. When you open a door the car computer displays that all 4 are open.

Im heading back to the shop today but was wondering if anyone had experienced something like this? They just repaired my rear bumper and it seems as though somehow they changed some computer settings or screwed up a connections?

Any suggestions on what may have happend and how to fix said issues?

thanks,

BQ

I've worked on my car with the rear bumper completely removed, and failed to see any electronics in its immediate vicinity.

The central locking pump is responsible for most of the functions relating to lock/unlock. It is in the rear left of the trunk - kind of hidden mind you. The door contact switches in each door latch should relay the open/closed signal.

Could damage to the pump/wiring even be possible, or was the damage confined to strictly the rear bumper only?
