lol first thing i checked and the dial to the right of the steering wheel[/

If that's ok then you need to check fuses I am sure o p will guide you to the right ones, but you could start by doing a general check in fuse box. There may be bulbs behind those switches blown .

The chances ar if the dimmer is not working is that the pot has come unsoldered on one end, you will have to remove the cluster to check, there is a little red fuse that may have blown for the leds in the switches
