Disconnect the dimmer on the radio then check all the fuses once again... it really sounds like a fuse problem. Leave the radio disconnected and try again? I guess you did that also though.... I won't doubt that.

Try checking the "dimmer relay". Check to see if the relay still works. If in doubt, borrow someone elses relay. On my 4g, its located under the hood.

you wired the ground for your dimmer to the dimmer wire on your radio harness? i'm assuming you've already rewired that cuz that would explain why your interior lights aren't working anymore.

if you have already done so and the problem is still persisting then i would assume it's a blown fuse, if not then recheck your wiring. in my 5th gen the dimmer wiring doesnt affect the tailight's circuitry in any way so you might have something else wired incorrectly.

Check the fuse labeled small lights, im pretty sure thats the one for the dash and tail lights, even if the fuse doesnt look blown test it for continuity as sometimes they blow with no visual effects.
