Chevrolet Repair: electrical, gmc sierra, feed source


Question
I own a 2005 GMC sierra crew cab 4x4 5.3L.  I am original owner with 24,000 miles and well taken care of.  At times I will check the windows to make sure they are up all the way.  When you do this, the lights in the dash dim.  Just yesterday I accidently did both back windows at the same time and the dash lights dimmed competely out just for a flash.  Also a brake service soon message came across the info bar, but then immediately went away and everything is fine.  Why does it do this?  Thanks for any info.

Answer
