    Sounds like a charging issue. Are your headlights dim or blinking? Since it also only seems to be happening to the instrument cluster, have you tried checking the connections? sometimes they can get loose and cause havoc.

    the battery, brake, and oil light is toyota engineer lingo for the alternators bad but still outputting something. It's still putting out something that would turn off the battery light (meaning you woulnd't know anythings the matter) but something still isn't right. On my old Cressida with a 5m, it meant the PS and timing cover oil leaks had put enough oil into the alternator and it was time to clean it again. On our trucks, you could try it but I reckon you'd be better off just getting a new one.
