Why not just go to the wrecking yard and pick one up. Any similar make of truck and a few years up and down from yours should work.
FYI the reason the light dimmer didn't work is, it is a triac that is designed for AC only operations. A diac would work though.

Curious about how you would get a diac to work in this application? As I recall a diac is a bidirectional breakover diode that typically breaks over at about 30 volts unless I don't remember my control days properly.

Andy nice catch. My mind running from AC to DC didn't think quick enough. I do stand correctedDiac in DC applications just acts like a Shockley diode, won't do him much good. Thanks for the correction.
So the 120 volt Light dimmer (ac) could be disected and possibley something removed to make it work?
