Unless you know how to troubleshoot the circuit using a wiring diagram, there isn't a whole lot you can do. I don't know how you can say the dimmer works fine if there are no dash lights.

You have a volt meter or 12 volt test lamp and know how to use it?

Check for power on both sides of the INST LPS 5 amp fuse with the head lamp switch on.

Check the TAIL LPS fuse 20 amp. If fuse is good, check for power on both sides of it.
Does this have trailer lights adapter, if the fuse is blown?

No problem.  Ya, do a visual of the wiring. If the van has an alarm system it could be tied into the parking lamp circuits, so that is a place to check too.
