Dash lights, sliding door auto-lock kaput

These may not be related, but the dash lights (for speedo, tach, fuel, temp) don’t come on anymore, even when headlights are on. SuperSelect, warning lights, gear indicator and turn signals all still work. I’m hoping it’s a fuse, but I can’t find a fuse for dash lights. Does anyone know which fuse they’re attached to?

Also, the auto-lock on the sliding door has stopped working, and you can only lock the door with the key - the power locks will lock and unlock all other doors, but not the slider.

It would be really nice if these were just some blown fuses (even better if it were one blown fuse), but any direction in which to start looking would be immensely appreciated!!

Update: After some more digging, it seemed as though "tail light" was the most likely fuse for the dash lights. Then, when I drove the van to work in the dark this morning, two people flashed their brights at me incessantly. Evidently my tail lights were out: another good clue. So I switched the tail light fuse and... let there be light!!!

Unfortunately, the auto-close feature on the sliding door still isn't working. The door closes and will latch, but only if you slam it as though it were a Caravan (shudder). Whatever it is (magnets?) that pulls the door closed doesn't even engage. It also won't lock with the other doors when you use the automatic lock lever switch on the driver door. Has anyone had similar problems?
