The headlight switch has to be grounded to light the dome when it is turned fully C/W. All the dome light switches are on the ground side and the orange wire from the fuse panel dome light fuse gives the dome light it's power.

Did you jump the red wire at the dimmer switch to the tan or green wire or just to the blue wire. If the dimmer switch is OK then one of the beams should have come on because the dimmer just selects high or low beam. In any case you need to figure out why the blue wire has no power when the headlight switch is on.

Do any of the tail lights or dash lights work? Or the front parking lights?
