Question Re: Car dead. Battery not dead. Owner stumped.

The small box next to the battery the size of a pack of cigarettes has three fuses. One 50A power the engine fan. One 50A powers the brake controller. The 200A powers the rest of the ENTIRE car.

I've never seen anyone blow that fuse.
Okay, so my next question is where would I find the main fuse? I have a 2007 roadster automatic. I found the small fuse box in the side of the dash, and there’s another alongside the battery which contains 3 or 4 small fuses and one larger 40 amp fuse (so not the main). I can find no box in the trunk. Is the main fuse even located in a fuse box, or is it on a bulkhead somewhere? Again, any help would be gratefully received.
