I'm 99% positive that your battery terminal is loose. Its gonna feel snug, but I bet its just a hair loose. Tighten the hell out of them and the problems should go away. The problems you're having sound like a bad connection and since its multiple units not working properly, that narrows it down to a common problem. Not to mention, the battery light coming on is a good sign of that too. Also, make sure and check the cable on the alternator going to the battery in case it may have come loose.
