Electrical Problem... Multiple Problems

Car is a 2002 MC manual with bout 90k on it bone stock with sunroof. 2 months ago my blinker indicators stopped working, next went the bright indicator, ac/ heater, dash lights, and occasionally the sun roof controll wont work and my radio disables itself.

After looking through the forums I bought a new battery, checked all the fuses, and checked both kick panels for water corrosion and shorts as this happened shortly after the first good rain.... any help?

Quote just to take the car in to the dealer was ridiculous and its getting cold driving with no heater. tylerbford97@yahoo.com

Little more info to help... I have the auto climate control... Some of the threads pointed to the BCM. Where is this located? From reading everything I know I don't want this to be the problem $$$$ but might as well check it out.

Will throwing a scanner on the car do any good? ie will codes show up for these problems?

Also is there a way to reset these modules/ computer?

It says "DISABLED" on the display screen (FYI i do not have navigation) If I turn the car on and off a few times it finally turns on.
