You have a dead short in the wiring harness some were and are in real danger of a fire starting. I would recommend you disconnect the negative battery cable until the short is located and repaired.
Yes, you have a short somewhere from the positive side to the frame. A very thourough inspection of the positive side cables will probably reveal a cut by the "crushed" body through the insulation on the Positive side of wiring. I had a similar problem. Light front end and driver side fender. Found problem at or near wire going through driver side firewall.

Take it to a auto-electric specialist, dont take it to a mechanic.

Sounds like you have an aftermarket alarm with starter disable. By disconnecting the battery the alarm reset and the defualt setting is usually to set the alarm automatically (active arming). You have three options..
A. If you have the key fob that went with the alarm you can disarm the alarm.
B. If no key fob is available you can disconnect the battery again, turn the ignition key to the on position and reconnect the battery. This usually doesn't allow the alarm to set and allows the car to start.
C. Remove the aftermarket alarm system. This is usually the long term fix i recommend if the fob isn't available. Option B should get you going though.

SOURCE: issue with dash lights dimming while driving,
If the battery and alternator tested fine. I would have the charging system rechecked when engine is hot and at high rpm's. This way the checks are being done as if you were driving and driving for a long time. Alternators can work fine when cold but weaken when hot or stop working. This problem is not rare but only is seen occassionly. Unless it was checked at an electrical shop the average shop doesn't run these tests for they don't see the problem often enough to automaticly run them at all times. Good luck and let me know how you make out.
