The multitude of symptoms, particularly the numerous warning lights, suggest a slipping serpentine belt. A slipping generator pulley will cause low system voltage which confuses some of the computers and will result in warning lights turning on. Check the spring-loaded tensioner pulley to see if it is sticking and not holding the belt tight.
