Multiple warning lights generally indicate a broken alternator belt. That would be the first thing to check.

Then it's probably the alternator itself, check that the battery is charging when the engine is running.

The dash uses the alternator as bulb check function so all those lights will come on when the alt light comes on.

They will all come on when the car is not running with the ign switched on.
That is normal. Amazing how many people don't know that.

Towards the drivers side of the engine bay, at the rear. It's clearly labeled and in a bit of an open space, its hard to miss.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.
