No dash lights?! Help

So long story short my jdm fd3s 92 dash lights won't light up. I have changed the bulbs no luck I bought a new cluster no luck. I pulled the dash out last night and I ordered a new wiring harness and I am hoping that fixes my issues. But is this a known issue ? Any one have any idea which wire runs power to the lights in the gauge so I can by pass it if this new harness doesn't work?

I'm assuming the gauges move, but no lights?

Check if you dimmer switch is plugged in, or if it's damaged. Without the dimmer switch working you won't get power to the lights.

Also fuses all good?

As far as I know all fuses are good I checked them all. Also I didn't know I had a dimmer switch where is this at?
