Double check 10A fuse #19 under the dash. If it's fine, pry the dimmer switch out of the dash, unplug the connector, and then install a jumper wire into the connector such that the red and black wires are connected. If the dash lights now turn on, then replace the dimmer switch.

ok so to verify your saying connect the red and black wires from the dimmer together and leave the red/black wire untouched

Yes. Use a jumper wire rather than cut and splice.
