warning lights comes on from cold start

Its Oct and it is getting cold during the morning. These last three days I notice my 91 runner break, battery, and A/T temp warning lights comes on and stays on while I warm up the car for 10 min in the early morning. I turns off after I drive it down the highway for about 15 min. Never happen before for the last 4 years I've had it. Changed all fluids, spark plugs, plug wires, distro cap, water pump, time belt, fan belts, and radiator are all sawped and new. Battery sawped out last year. I'm thinking maby some sensors has gone wacked. Would appreciate anyone 2 cents. If i'm missing more info on the car that you'll like to know I will sure post it up.

Found the issues. Alternator was going out. Disconnected positive lead from battery while engine was running and then it stalled and fluddered but did not died. Swaped for a rebuild alt, disconnected positive lead engine remained running. All warning lights no longer appeared. Runner runs great now!
