Dash light dimmer does not work

The dash lights on my 92 f150 do not work unless you turn the dimmer all the way to the end. Where it turns on all the interior, and cargo lights. Any one had this problem? have any idea whats wrong or what needs to be replaced?

is there much to it or does it just plug in? I've never really looked at it that close.

It just plugs in. its removed from the dashboard with two torx screws.

However, getting to it requires you to remove your cluster surround. There are two hidden screws, then you have to gently work it off. If its an auto truck, you'll have to move the gearshift down to drive, 2 or 1 to get it off easier.
