Default dash lights went out

Hi guys,

Well Since I've had this car the dimmer switch has always been a kinda jacked up. in order to get the dash lights and the headlights on at the same time I had to pull the switch all the way out, and then slowly push it back in until the dash lights went on. If i pushed too far, the headlights would go out and the dash lights would stay on. But yesterday the dash lights didn't work at all. I had to drive home with just headlights. What do you think the problem is? if its the switch, where can I get another one?

thanks.

Could be a fuse. The switch could be the problem also but I would start with checking the fuses. Also when you push it partially in the switch the dash lights are supposed to stay on and the headlights stay off. Thats normal.
