Default Dummy lights came on all of a sudden!! Help needed.

Maybe this has happened to other accord owners....driving home last night and all of these light came on all of a sudden. Battery light, door ajar lights and trunk ajar light and parking break light(but the break isnt even up). I checked all the fuses, battery, doors and trunk...everything seems to check out ok....it drives fine, nothing seems wrong. Im clueless. Its a 99 accord v6 coupe.

a bad alternator would cause the door ajar lights to come on?
