No, not really. With the exception of the charging light, all of your other warning lights are just simple "get the ground from the engine" lights that constantly have 12v+ being delivered to them. When the sensor on the engine gives the ground (because the coolant is too hot, the
oil pressure is too low, whatever...) then the light comes on. The alternator light also serves to "excite" the charging circuit. If the bulb is burned out, your charging system won't work and, because the bulb is burned out, it won't tell you that it's not working.
Some guys will put an audible "alarm" on the system that gives a sound alert if one of the lights has come on for a period of, say, 5 seconds. This is relatively easy to do
provided that you use diodes in the feeds to avoid "cross-feeding" all the lights coming on when one comes on. My recommendation is that you first just get the car running, charging, and the idiot lights to come on when you manually ground them out. Save "making them blink," or adding the audible alert, for another day.
