Dash Lights No Work

They came on for about 5 minutes right after I started the truck. Fuses are all good, unless there's another hidden panel somewhere. But the only one I saw was under the hood on the drivers side.
I checked the wires underneath the dash the best I could and everything seems to be fine. All my other lights work as well.
Any quick ideas before I have to test everything?

it is the dimmer switch man
use a jumper wire find the hot wire and jump it the light wire easy way to test for sure but id be willing bet thats the problem

I had a feeling it was the dimmer.
My hazards also don't work. Fuses are all good. I know the hazards are a little module, signals still work. I'll probably have to tear into the truck this weekend. I may just try and bypass the dimmer since it's usually just a voltage regulator

the hazzards are on a differant system
you have a blinker relay and a seperate hazard relay

I had mine go out one night, along w/ my running lights, kept blowing the fuse, come to find out, my drivers side corner lamp, the metal light pole in the back, was touching the fender, and grounding out.

You were right todd, dimmer switch. I pulled it out and bypassed it and they work fine. Thanks again.
