I'd say they are unrelated. Just can't see how body damage could cause the issue. Did you bump the stalk when it happened? Driver side? If driver side did you look under the fender to see if the harness came loose?

Idk seems sketchy, but if it is related the harness is the only thing that would make sense here

Harness in fender well chewed? If not, check the switches on the column.

Definitely sounds like a chewed wiring harness.

+1 check your wiring that's in the drivers side fender first...

your tires and your wire harness do not play nicely together. repair the wires on that harness and tie it up or re-route it so it wont touch the tire again. serach for "wiring harness" and "slammed" and "chewed".
