electrical problem 06 avalon????

Something weird just happened last night while we were driving slowly at sunset in Hawaii. Our 06 avalon dash light and Radio light went bright for no reason. We did not touch a thing. Also when we came to a stop at the stop sign, the A/C car fan went high and low[mildly with the A/C off ,just the fan blowing] for no reason also. We also did not touch a thing? Has this happened to anyone? Could it be an upcoming electrical problem or computer problem? Please help. thanks:

The dash lights going bright/dimmed could be related to the automatic light sensor. I have had that happen to me going into a shaded area or even briefly in an underpass with our '06 Avalong. It worried me the first few times as well. Electrical system has been fine with 65,000 miles on the car at this point.

Thanks for the reply. I will be more aware of the light situation and experiment by going in a light to dark enviroment and watch the dash. Thanks

I had that happen to me once, but I couldn't find a TSB about it. Must be a Hawaii's sunset.
