I'm afraid its old school, take each every output wire away from the fusebox, replace the fuse then add one at at time until the fuse blows. By the way, gear shift solenoid, int lights and power windows on 5amps? Really? The solenoid will draw 10amps, about 1 amp per interior light and 25 amps per pair of windows. Think it through. It probably only let's the windows work when key is removed and the doors are open, old Mercedes trick, energised a relay to feed the windows.
