gauges out and no dash lights or clock

2008 MDX and suddenly the dash lights do not come on and neither does the clock and all the gauges are not working. The ABS, Brake, VSA and Airbag warning lights are on. HVAC and Radio (aftermarket) are working. Interior lights are working. Car runs just fine and exterior lights/signals are all fine.

I checked a few fuses, like the "Meter" fuse and "interior lights" fuse. Didn't see any other threads on this, so it doesn't seem very common.

Any ideas?

Possibly a body control module not fully connected or shorted out.

Before heading to a dealer, suggest reviewing the factory service manual body electrical section for any troubleshooting steps or self diagnostics.

Most likely, water has got into the front or rear fuse box.
