The wires could have broken or fallen off the dimmer switch. Find a common wire that they share, which I believe is a ground. Check the wires coming into the dimmer switch with a test light. A wiring diagram would be helpful.

Try taking a test light and grounding one end. Test the wires coming into the dimmer switch to see if it has power. If it does, then you really narrowed down the problem. If it does not, then check the relay, which would probably be the headlight relay. Also check the fuse connector slot with the test light to see if it is getting power.

Update
Note: The fuse marked for dash lights has nothing to do with the illumination. Those lights fall under the same catagory as tail lights, it would seem.
I saw my wife drive off in my truck last Friday night and noticed my tail lights were out. Checked the fuse... sure enough. Switched it out and all my dash lights are back to normal.

CD Player?
I had this problem with my 90 Runner. Do you have a anfter market cd player instaled? If so, Check to see if the positive dimmer wire is exposed. Mine kept grounding to the body because I didn't cover the end of the wire causing it know out my dash lights.
Hope this was a help...
