Answer
Check the fuses.  You have no voltage to the dimmer line.  

If you know how to check out the wiring, go here:

where you can find the wires that handle the illumination.  If the fuses check out good then the wiring  has come loose or a connector is open circuit; something like that.

Good Luck.
