If I get in and turn on the headlights I get no lights on the dash or radio. The radio is playing, I just can't see anything. When I turn off the headlights everything lights back up for noraml day driving. The funny thing is if I roll the dimmer all the way to where it clicks, all the cabin lights come on as expected but, the dash/radio light up as well?? Is there a fuse specifically for the dimmer? The dimmer doesn't work basically unless you roll it all the way up and click everything on. So I can't drive at night (and see the dash) unless I turn the inside lights on. I'm lost on this one.

The dimmer switch may be no good...I believe that it's just a rheostat until it goes to that "click" position, where it becomes like a set of contacts.
Also, if you have something aftermarket wired into that circuit such as an alarm, remote start, guage, etc., it may be causing a problem. I believe that the fuse for that circuit should be in the panel on the left side of the dash.
