Corners, fogs, interior lights died after indiglo

I installed new gauge faces and tried to wire them to the dimmer switch. Now my corners, fog lights, and interior illumination(buttons 'n sh*t, guages' needles) dont work, and neither does the dimmer switch. But get this, everything starts working when I remote start the car! As soon as I take it off the remote start, all those lights turn off again. Voltmeter shows no current going to the dimmer switch when off the remote start. "METER" fuse is good.

Can anyone recommend what or where I should check for problems? What could it be?

To the wire that has a constant voltage, not the variable one.

Almost right near the money somewhat... The fuse is called "TAIL LAMP". Replaced it with a spare one and everything works now. Thanks!
