Electrical Nightmare

HELP! I just bought a 300d one week ago. Love the car and thrilled to have it.

I went out for a drive today and after about 15 minutes on the road, my fan/motor (for climate control) stopped working. No big deal right? Well, I check the fuse and sure enough it is blown. I notice that the blown fuse is 25amp instead of the 16A that is called for. Makes me suspicious. Anyway, I replace the fuse and get...NOTHING. problem must be the motor, A guy from the auto parts store comes out with a little tester to check the connection, and it sparks on him. He says to leave it fuseless and have the fan-motor checked.

I drive home. On the way, I realize, to my horror, that the following items (all of a sudden) no longer work:

Turn signals
Fuel Gauge
Temp. indicator.
WINDOWS!!

What the %)*@? I've checked the fusebox, no fuses appear to be blown... I know nothing about cars. I have owned this one for a WEEK. Does anyone have an idea of what has happened and what I should do? Any and all help is appreciated.

Joe
