Dash light wiring problems

Well, i'm currently fighting with my dash lights to get them to work, and this is what my solution was. I ran a wire from the dimmer switch directly to the instrument panel (pin 3, which was gray if memory serves). The dash lights worked, but this caused my dimmer switch to start burning up. Anybody know any specific reason i might be having a problem with this? I think my alternate solution is going to be to run a wire from my fuse box to a toggle/fuse and then to that same pin on the cluster. Anybody have any thoughts on whats going on here or comments on what i want to try next?
