Went for a bash in some mud/water today and all the ignition/warning lights won't go out.

The air filter, oil low/pressure light, battery, timing belt, fuel filter and hand brake lights are permanently illuminated. To start with they flashed on and off a few times, and then stayed on for the entire way home. The individual oil pressure and battery voltage gauges indicated these things were fine, so I'm assuming its water related. Has anyone had this before, or can you guys suggest any likely causes?

Cheers

Mate no offence but need to search, this is on here atleast once a fortnight. You have mud in your alternater and its not charging properly, give it a good wash out with a garden hose, if that doesnt work may need to be pulled apart by an auto sparky.

Thanks mate. To be honest I posted the question for my mate, as I'm only ever in the suzuki section and rarely have luck with the search function. Google did come up with a few pages and they all suggested the same, brushes/reg on the fritz or need a clean out.

If this were the suzuki page Im sure I'd have been flamed 20 times by now lol. Thanks for your help.
