Default Inoperable passenger door

Rarely start a new thread, but asking for possible reason why my passenger side window and door is not working. This June my 97 was involved in an accident where a lady drove out of a driveway and struck my front fender and passenger door leaving a gaping hole. What could be the reason the window and door lock is not working, the door module was not damaged and everything has been transferred to a used door. Any tips or ideas welcome.

Return the car to the shop that did the repairs.

It's still in the shop, just wanting to help them figure out what the problem could be since they are just a autobody repair shop. Hopefully I will be getting my C5 back next week .

Will do, both window and door lock were working before the impact, thanks for your suggestion.
