Hey all

So recently my Compass stopped working all of a sudden... I've checked out the unit under the top of the dash, and all looks fine.

Strangely enough, I bumped my A/C on today by accident and actually found out that that doesn't come on either. The blowers work, but the AC light doesn't (and it doesn't blow the chilled air). That being said, the defroster button nor the air circulator button don't light up either... but the "backlights" to the dash panel still illuminate when headlights are on.

1) Could these both be related? i.e. maybe a fuse that I'm missing somewhere?
2) If the AC coolant was out, would that cause the AC to not even turn on when the button is pressed?
3) Being that "backlight" works, but the three lights on the buttons don't, could it just be a power issue?

Thanks in advance!!
