If it's a pain... I won't mess w/ it. Nice feature but not worth the hassle.
There is enough pieces of your system working, to rule out a fuse problem.

Can you open hatch with the fob, or button on hatch only? Car locked, the hatch button will open with fob near?

Having the wiring diagram is essential. I would have to look if the handles are wired together, or separate circuits. Certainly burned electronics is not a good sign.

Need to determine if it is a transmitter issue or door antenna issue.

Lock all doors. Go to each door and see if it will unlock by touch or pulling the handle.

That reminds me of a troubleshooting video, the comfort access module had failed. You have scanned for codes?

Personally, I never paid much attention to Comfort Access. But would not want to live without it now. Still irritated that the deadbolt on my house will not open and close when I touch it. :-)
