Default Location of fuse boxes/relay locations W12?

I have found what looks like the two main fuseboxes on my 2005 W12 at either end of the dashboard basically behind clip-off panels and can also see the fuse/relay location at the right hand side of the boot above the battery.

Are there any other locations in the car that house electrical fuses/relays/circuit breakers etc?

Thinking there must be relays somewhere or does everything work from modules?

Are there any under the bonnet (or boot) that might be susceptible to water ingress or something that I could just check as a matter of course?

I mean I've had the car for two years so figured I should learn something about it.

If there is a prize awarded for someone asking the largest amount of questions in such a short time I could be in the running!

Thanks & kind regards,
-=Glyn=-

There is another area of fuses and relays, its under the carpet in the passenger footwell. This is where the relay and fuse for the air compressor lives along with others.

Pretty sure there's some on the left hand side of the boot too with the MMI stuff.
