Busted dimmer switch? Try bypassing the dimmer switch.

Burnt out dash lights? I know it is unlikely that they would all go at once, but maybe.

most likely the dimmer switch.. though i did have a problem once where i had all my side marker lights out for primering reasons and i drove it for about 20 minutes and my dash lights flickered then died.. popped the fuse. doubt that's the case here though, so try the dimmer switch.

touch the wires together, and see if the lights work
