Default 01 Chevy Blazer interior lights issue

Ok I've got a problem, I got this blazer lil over a month ago, and when I got it it had no light in the dome light space so I put one in there and the light works except when I press dome override button and it turns the dash lights out and the dome light stays on so I try the dimmer except the dash lights stay off and no the dome light will stay off till I roll the dimmer wheel/switch upwards till it hits the part where it clicks and the dome light comes on but still no dash lights, so basically the only way I can get the dash lights to stay on is if I leave the dome light on and if I hit the dome override button the dash lights go out and the dome light still stays on, I believe the dash lights and the dome lights are reversed, so would anybody know where I would look to find the wiring that could be reversed?

The BCM then decides how to control the dash lights and the BCM also turns on courtesy lights through a relay. I have no idea what you have done when adding your "dome light", and I think you may not have any idea either. I am guessing your added dome light is either causing the problem or worst case has damaged the BCM. Try reversing what you have modified.

p.s I have never heard of a second gen blazer not having enough courtesy lights. They are everywhere in mine.
