lost power windows/roof/inside light/ maibe more

2001 boxster S US model

Please help

Just got the car back from the paint booth.
Car was stripped and done right.
When I went to pick up the car, the key had been left in the ignition killing the battery.
Had to get a boost.
The next morning I noticed I couldn't put my windows down.
I decided to check the rest of the cars functions.
The roof seems dead.
My inside light wont come on..even manually.
Heated mirror switch doesn't light up although there hasn't been any frost to check it
psm switch doesn't seem to work.

I began pulling all fuses to inspect them since I couldn't find a good fuse diagram
They all seem ok.

Am I miising something?
Is there possibly some control module that might have fried from the boost?
I'm not sure what else to do.

Thanks in advance for the help.
Everything was working fine before the paint job.
They claim that every thing worked as they assembled the car because they had the windows and roof down during the assembly and were able to close it up when finished.

Your battery is bad. Letting it run down killed it. Get it replaced!

Start with taking the battery in and have it 'load tested' first. Most any auto supply store will test it for free.

It wasn't a battery issue. Roof and lights now work. Still trying to diagnose the windows. Started a new thread for it. Thanks for the tips.
