Electrics fault. Even left the dealer baffled.

Hey

I just brought a 03 camry sportivo and having some dramas with it. First two days i had it i had to have a new engine put in under warranty (Someone threaded the head bolts causing a cooling issue) Now i have it back with a second hand motor (but half the km''s of the old one) and im having an issue with the electrics.

All thats happening is things are browning out. When something is switched (up to high beam. Rear demister. AC. etc) the head unit (stock) will restart the headlights will dim and then it picks up again. The biggest problem is, It doesn't happen all the time. which makes the fault even more annoying. I cant seem to be able to re-created parked and mostly seems to happen at night when wet. (im sure its happened at night dry as well)

Ive taken it to the mechanic (because if i can find it quick the repair is under warranty. So Toyota dealer mechanic) He tested the battery the alternator and the earthing points and he cant think of what it could be. He also tried re creating the senario and couldnt make it happen.

Anyone please for any information you could give me i would be forever grateful. Its so annoying because im sure when i put in a sound system its gonna be out of warranty and become a full time problem

Thanks, Stevo.
