What are you saying exactly, that the background lighting isn't working and the gauge still works?

Good question. Go over the basics first, check fuses, remove the instrument cluster and check for loose wires. If that comes up with nothing it sounds like the cluster is toast. I haven't see that before, only on newer ones that were coded wrong changing the background lighting setting.
