Question overhead module or bcm?

My overgrown son pushed the rear overhead console light too hard & pushed the lenses in (broke the rear screw mount for it). The lenses have been removed but since then: extremely intermittent weak flashing of cargo & courtesy lights only when key is on. The antenna goes halfway up and down continuously until radio is turned off (doesn't work). When you turn one of the front or rear overhead lights on it's fine. Turn them both on (a pair) & they are dim. Center console info flashes & can't be set. Everytime you start vehicle with the a/c on, the temp goes to a setting of 75 degrees. You must turn it down each time on a restart. Also, the auto door locks only work when the doors are closed. And for 2 years the auto position for the light switch worked, but no dash lights. There was also a funny noise coming from what seemed to be the right lower side of the dashboard only when a door is open. I unplugged the circuit board in the overhead console & it stopped. Is it the circuit board in the overhead that is bad or the BCM? Everything but the dashlights seemed to happen all at once.

first thing I would suggest is take off the top console and look is your son didn't break or damage the electrics up there, if screwed, fix it.
for the dash you didn'T mention if the problem was resolved or not, if not check for a diagram and look at the wires, could be just a loose contact
good luck
