I just replaced a wall switch and it still won't work. The tester shows a dim light. This wall switch is connected to the ceiling fan. Please help.

I would call in an electrician.
You replaced a switch, presumably because it was not working, and the fan still doesn't work.
I assume this is the only switch for the fan.
Usually, and with good working practice, the hot wire is switched. But for the fan to work, both a hot and neutral are required.
An electrician would have a meter to test for continuity between the neutral and the ground at the fan, since they are connected in your panel.
The electrician would also check the inexpensive switch that is part of the fan. These often go bad. Is it possible the fan is turned off here?
Some fans have remote controls and it could be the fan is not in run mode.
Good Luck
