Something weird happened the other day. I noticed that the backlighting on the dash switches all went out. That is, at night I can't see the switches for headlights, fog lights, rear defogger, and sunroof. Interestingly, the sliding switch controlling the dashboard lighting is illuminated, the dashboard lighting works just fine (incl dimming), the lights behind the temp switches work. The only other thing that doesn't work (I don't know if it's related or unrelated) is the passenger side mirror motor/control; I can't adjust the passenger side mirror (though the driver side still works). Is this a fuse problem, bad wiring? Any insight would be appreciated.

Not illuminating:
Headlamp switch
Fog light switch
Rear defogger switch
Sunroof control switch
Passenger side mirror not moving

Illuminated:
Dashboard
Dashboard dimmer sliding switch
Temp control switches
Driver side mirror adjusts normally
