Default E320 Short circuit

I wonder if anyone can direct me to download a wiring schematic for a 2001 E320?
Problem: radio & door locks non-functional. Radio fuse is #5 under rear seat-
new fuse blows instantly, same with #19 fuse which the central vacuum pump operates from- it also blows a 40 amp fuse instantly. Both + fuse terminals are getting power, the other side, checked with VOM, shows a direct short to ground....on both 5 & 19. Test performed with radio fully disconnected; it's own 10amp fuse is fine, pump unplugged as well.....thought that was the problem initially.

I suspect the problem lies with the residual heating system(fuse 19,5) as the radio is the only other thing shown on fuse #5, it's the only correlation I've found.
I'll search forum for residual heating system....
