Dash backlight is out, engine warning and turn signal indicators still work.

[bark3rd]

My dash backlight has gone out (cant see speedo or tach at night) but the engine warning lights, turn signal indicators and high-beam indicator still comes on. Could this be a blown fuse? The fuse map in the owners manual is vague and only lists "instrument clusters" and "interior lights". I hate to take to the shop if this could be an easy fix. Im guessing the bulb is out but at 8k Mi? Im also getting a weird flapping noise coming from my a/c vents when the a/c fan is on high. Help! Its hard to race or monitor speed at night when you cant see the dash or tach!
