what's a weird problem?pls help diagnose

Can anyone out there with FD experience tell me what's the problem.

I finally toke my FD for a drive after it's been sitting in my garage for a little over 3 weeks. Needless to say I raced the engine a bit, nothing serious, 5000 - 6000rpm.
When I was on my way home, suddenly all the little red lights on the stock gauges lit up. (charge light, oil light, temp light, abs light) But when I take it out of gear, the lights go off. When I engage in gear and press the gas, it all lights up again??? But the car response perfectly even when everything is lit? If anyone can solve this mystery...Thanks in advance.

There was a thread about something like this not too long ago. Evidently the culprit is the alternator belt.
