I am having issues with the controls on my climate control panel. Several of the buttons are not working but a few are. Top and bottom fan, rear defrost, top fan, backseat temperature, and fan controls are not working. I picked up my car from the auto body shop after having the passenger side doors and front fender replaced and now these issues have shown up. Is there a ground wire that could have been bumped while they were working on the passenger side?

Yep, you are correct, there are three grounds that need to be looked at which are at the right front A and D pillar. G210 (2), G402 I have marked them in the wiring diagrams below. Let me know what you find. If these are good, I would do a CAN scan because the HVAC controller could have gone out due to a battery boost which body shops are famous for.

Here is how to replace the HVAC controller as well just in case.
