Electrical Problems

I have spent hours searching the threads and can not find the exact match.

After doing the engine swap on the 92 300SD (140 type), I can not find the culprit for this electrical problem. The passenger rear window will not go up more than 2 inches. When I turn the headlights on, the right turn signal dash indicator stays lit and the right turn bulbs (front and back) stay on. I have no "high beam flash".
I also have a constant "ticking" (I'm convinced it's a time bomb) coming from the fuse box, when I remove the fuse for "Instrument cluster, turn signal/hazard warn. flasher, ceiling light, (steering angle sensor)", the ticking goes away.
Initially I had no parking lights on the passenger side, but after checking the fuses, I found the fuse for "Parking/tail light, right, license plate illumin. +SML" to be blown, it was replace and now everything listed above works. No other fuses found blown. I also checked the fuses in the trunk.
Any help would be great.

I already spent a day repairing vacuum leaks, so now the turbo works and the transmission actually shifts the way it was supposed to.
I had to replace the TARP, luckily I had a spare. The dealer says "You have to buy the entire Injection Pump for $3,800. Because they are calibrated together". I think this was the same dealer that said I could not do the engine swap because the engine and transmission were incompatible. I found it on "Match.com", I know they're compatible.
