Possible ground issue at the taillights.
A bad ground wire will cause dim headlights, or will cause lights not to work.
probably the fuse is blown.
A bad battery or faulty battery connection.

A blown fuse can make your dashboard lights to not work in your 1993 Chevy Blazer Tahoe. A burned out bulb can also cause this.

On a 1999 GEO Tracker, a bad fuse can cause the headlights and dash lights to blink. A bad voltage regulator or alternator can also cause lights to blink and flicker.
