Boot light and clock mysteriously stopped working

The MFA clock screen wasn't displaying anything this morning, so started up and everything else on the dash seems to be functioning (temp, fuel, warning lights, speedo, rev counter).

Quick check of fuses and none are blown. Dash ground to rocker cover has been a problem in the past but it's good too.

Strangely whilst checking everything the only other thing that isn't working is the boot light. Both the clock and boot light worked fine yesterday!

What could this be? mysterious... any help appreciated!

I can't be sure but Pete told me to check the connections on the tailgate lights, lo and behold one of the earths had come off.
No idea why but it worked. Clearly voodoo

I went back and had a look at my posts. It was my dash lights and number plate lights. Same feed or something.
Worst case bring it down here and we'll start tracing all the wiring
