this is easy to test. Take the dimmer out of the dash with all wires attached. Then turn on the headlight switch to parking light position and wiggle all the wires at the connector end. If you see any dash lights flicker or intermittent, then it's the dimmer.
The problem is similar to the headlight relay, re-flow the solder joints for the connector in the dimmer.
The rheostat is surprising robust so it's unlikely to be the problem.
Since you have more than one 9K, you can just swap parts and see.
