Just got a w202!

What's up fellas. I just traded a junk 240sx for a c class with a few issues, and was wondering if anyone could help me out!
Known issues:
Windshield wiper motor is out
Gas gauge doesn't work
Ac/ heat doesn't blow, but in my old e class it was just a fuse? If anyone could point me in the direction of maybe prices or anything it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks guys

Wiper motor: google search, I've seen some youtube videos on swapping out the assembly, you can probably get one out of a junkyard or ebay. Do check fuses first..

Gas gauge: no clue, do all the other gauges work?
AC: what isnt working? Does it blow air at all? Does compressor engage when ac is supposed to be on? Did I say fuses checked before? Need more details to help.

Compressor doesn't come on at all. And with the gas gauge some people said that the sending unit could be bad
