You must understand that collision stresses the ENTIRE vehicle. Just because it was hit from behind, does not mean that there is not collision damage in the front. I had a vehicle in my shop several years ago that was hit from the rear. The engine began knocking shortly after. It turned out that the collision had jarred the engine hard enough to cause the crankshaft to crack. This type of damage is extremely rare, but can happen. Trying to convince the insurance company that this was collision damage was a real trick.... On the other hand, fuel sending unit failures are quite common (without any collision) and can cause your fuel gauge to stop working.The only way to determine if your problems are caused by the collision would be to first diagnose the problem. Only then can it be determined if the current failure is caused by collision or possibly caused by a more commonly known failure type.

Check the wires for short

Buy a scan tool, plug in and ease code, it won't come cheap. Just bring it to a dealer or an experienced workshop.

seems no current from the doors.... input from transmission lever works. Look for wires cut between door harness or defect door lock switch hope it helps

are you touching the bulbs with your fingers? the oil from your hands can/will cause the bulb to blow. its unlikely this is your total problem but something to keep in mind wear latex gloves

must have a loose connection or broken wire.making intermitten contact. Hope this helps good luck
