Default Electrical issue - several things all of a sudden don't work

Hi all. I have an odd electrical issue I am trying to help my mom troubleshoot. She has a 2002 Lexus GS300. The radio, clock, dome light, seat presets, key fob don't work at all. Auto door locks, gas cap and trunk only operate when the key is in.

From another thread, someone had mentioned if polarity was reversed during a jump start this could cause the issue. Come to find out my step dad had used the Lexus to jump start his Porsche Cayenne. The fuses have each been tested. What would be the next troubleshooting step?

There probably is a blown fuse you didn't see. That's really the only explanation if the car was just used to jump another and this is happening. Some main fuses don't look like normal fuses.
