just check
All i can say is check everything so there is no short anywhere - dust/muck can build up behind the dash area and short out cuircuitry, i take it all the other lights go out so you might have a dodgy alternator - did you put a current tester on the battery when engine running to check voltage is around 13 v if its not alternator gone, are the wires undamaged for the fuel drain light on the filter?? sometimes with the filter its a fiddle to get the drain plug off cos it has the wires connected to it, thse can get pulled when filter change occurs etc, just have podge about, check all fuses etc etc.
Full of ideas but no time to do them!!

Common problem. Answer is
Common problem. Answer is your brushes inside your alternator are worn out. Replace them, easy job, and all will be fixed. It can also happen after fording deep water, say up to bonnet/hood depth, for an extended period.

Interesting I had the same
Interesting I had the same experience on my Fourtrak after replacing the thermostat elbow, and getting coolant all over the engine. So, as bundyrumandcoke said it maybe water ingress somewhere.
The warning lights extinguished after a few moments of driving at 60mph, I guess drying the engine out!
