Then because both sensors are throwing codes after work has been done, I would be looking for something common to both sensors. wiring or a wiring connection common to both sensors may have been disturbed when the recent work was done.
Wiring may look ok but be to close to spark plug coils or some other electrical component that is causing the cam position sensor signal to be disrupted.
No the only code before work was done was fuel sensor. Also the top is now not working!!!

I would look for blown fuses, and bad relays first.
Then check over all the work done before the codes showed up.
Sounds like the work the shop did triggered the top and code problems.

Sometimes going to a mechanic is like going to the doctor. You come out worse than you went in.

I would take it back to the shop that did the work as they "repaired frayed wiring" chewed by mice. A rather large clue to your current problem!!!!!!

One of the reasons I refuse to take any of my cars to a shop.
I can mess up just as bad as they can for less money.
