All of my lights are working on the car except my dash lights. I didn't notice until it started getting dark last night. Checked all the fuses and wiggled them all. I wiggled the dash light dimmer a bunch of times. I'm thinking it's the dimmer switch since they are all out. Any ideas???

Look at the rear of the ignition switch. There is a coiled spring wire that controls the ohms in that circuit. If it is broken you need to replace the switch or wire them up directly. I suspect that you could install a separate variable resistor to control that circuit if you changed to LED's but I'd check with an EE 1st.
