Idiot light problem...

Today it was raining today when i started my car. i turned on my lights after turning it on and i noticed that the D for drive light was low(its an auto.) I thought nothing of it and kept driving. I got on the gas a little and around 80mph all of my idiot lights turned on, and now they wont turn off while the car is started. The only light that still functions is the seat belt light and another one i think. I'm not sure if these things will ahve anything to do with it but, i recently installed a cold air intake and i put gas in it today that was sitting in our garage in it, in the rain. Please tell me what my cars problem is.....

Ditto Johnny Zoom. The alt will check out fine as far as charging and all, but there is a circuit that controls the idiot lights that can go bad seperately. Mine did the same.

This may sound stupid but did you check the alt belt? Mine did that to me on the autobahn and I found out my belt snapped
