R60 Dashboard went out but all fuses check out ok!

Dashboard went out but all fuses check out ok!
Background:
I have a 2012 Mini Cooper S Countryman:
WHAT WORKS: radio (illuminates&works), windows, doors, power locks, headlights, low beams, high beams, rear lights, brake lights, directionals, alarm flashing lights on the side of door
WHAT DOES NOT WORK: illumination of tachometer (digital), tachometer (manual needle), illumination of dashboard control, illumination and sound of directionals, interior mood lights, illumination of gas gauge
From what I read online, I started with the hypothesis of a blown fuse. I tested each fuse, both connectors, and EVERY CONNECTION WORKS/LIT UP. I read somewhere that it could be the fusebox itself, but if that were the case, wouldn't that also affect the fuses themselves?
Any recommendations for easy stuff I can check out myself (or with a local mechanic) before taking it to the MINI dealer?
Thank you!
I have a 2012 Mini Cooper S Countryman:
- Purchased July 2018 with 75k miles
- Was fully inspected at MINI BMW after purchase
- Had some brakes pads/rotors replaced at the time along with water pump pulley
- Last service was an oil change Sept 2018
- Car ran great all winter (it's below freezing here)
- No indicator lights were on
