Check or have checked your battery voltage. If low can give various issues/ warning lights.

As above. If it's the original battery fitted, then at 6 years old, it's past its best, and can be responsible for odd electrical gremlins.

You need to test the voltage under cranking. If it drops below about 10.5 Volts, then it's past it's best.
