1999 Mercedes Benz C180 All electric gone

Electrical problem
1999 Mercedes Benz C180 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 83000 miles

Hi,
I recently bought a 1999 Mercedes C180, Elegance.
All electric windows, central locking, wipers, indicators, cruise control and everything else electric (except headlights and hazard lights) are not working.
Have absolutely no idea whats wrong. Someone mentioned that it might be a 'relay/fuse' problem. I checked the fuses but they seem to be fine.

Can you please help me figure out what it it.

Thanks.

This may be fuse box related more than fuse and relay. Your fuse box may have corrosion present under the fuse panel which will cause severe shorts in the unit, however don't rull out control unit failures for this as well. Does the vehicle start?
