ROFL.. same thing just happened to me.. its not the dimmer switch.. i think there is proilly a short somewhere.. when i turn my lights on.. the part over the AC controls blinks real quick then goes away.. does anyone know where the fuse is for the dash?
PM jetjock he will probably be able to help you out. then post the results back up here so everyone else can learn from it.

test the rheostat and if not that you prob have a loose ground.
the fuse should be on the drivers kick panel
and heres the circuit

Do your taillights work? My dash lights went out at the same time my tails went out - the tail fuse was the cause of the problem.
This very same thing happened to me and it literally took me days to figure it out.
In the end I had put a single pole, or single filimant bulb into one of the dual filiment socket on my rear tail lights and it was shorting accross the dual poles.
Took forever to find.

just bypass it and have full bright all the time. Thats where I leave it anyways personally.
/\ mine works but its also on full bright all the time too
gtimportfanatic - dont take it somewhere and pay for the install, it will take a total of like 5min to replace.

called my boy kurt up.. he had tthe same problem.. so i took that damn rheostat off.. took the two white wires off the plug in the back of it.. spliced them together.. and voila.. my lights are on full blast lol:evil2: .. thanks for the advice.. but i dont ever pay for something unless i have no options.. this forum+friends= plenty of options :biglaugh:
diagnose the whole thing first..dont just go changing fuses.. obviously the rheostat is a common problem.. seeing that i just found 4 people that have/had the problem within a day of me havin it lol .. it might be fuses.. but if its not... then u can always do what i did.. on the back of the rheostat.. the 3 wires should be green , white/green, white/black .. and they have silver striping on it
