I hit the dimmer switch and it killed the motor and all lights and now it's like there is no battery at all

Make sure the battery has a full charge. Check all connections. Is there any voltage at the fuse box? Check the starter circuit, bat terminal and starter S terminal for voltage, key in the crank position for the S terminal.

First thing you need to do is have the battery tested and make sure the battery cables are clean and tight. Also do you have a multimeter?Check all the fuses as well.

Could be a blown fusible link or the ignition switch
