Dimmer Switch?

None of my cluster lights or climate control lights light up. So i figure it is the dimmer switch and also when I turn the **** in the headlight switch to the first position or second no lights work, only the headlights and brake lights( only when pedal applied). Will the dimmer switch effect the side markers and all other outside lights too? or is that something else? Oh and fuses are good.

can you see the odometer mileage when you turn the headlight switch to the 1st or 2nd position?

Confirm and report back when you get a chance. If you can see the mileage then it's not the dimmer switch.

The mileage does light up, I unplugged the dimmer switch and I get no voltage. I also notice that my idle jumps from 1,200-1,500 without the headlights on and when the lights are on it idles at 1,200.

Sounds like you have a bigger issue than the dimmer switch if your idle fluctuates that much with just turning the headlights on.
