Turn signal function is a BCM funcion (explains your turn signal issue)
WIpers are a BCM function (explains the wiper issue).
But after 14 years here, Iv'e never seen THIS failure mode. As our cars age, we are going to discover more and more oddball issues like this. You are to be thanked for coming back to "close the loop" so we all learn.
I drew this up some time ago, it shows how the door switches, SKREEM, FOB and CLP/SSM all work together. Note how ALL signals from FOB, door lock cylinder or console lock switch go thru the BCM:
It's also interesting to note that I was not able to resync my FOB to be recognized until after the BCM was replaced. It has some role in that process as well.
