You have possible control module influences on this concern, the gauges and the radio screen are not necessarily on the dimming circuits. Do you know how to get codes from the vehicle?

I would extract and read all codes first, then you can disconnect the battery and short the cables to start with. Let them sit for a minute or so and reconnect them. See if that corrects operation. If it does not, reply to the post with the codes.
