The lights on the dash coming on like that is known to be a symptom of an alternator problem. Each time it has happened to me it has coincided with a muddy trip. The mud clogs up the brushes in the alt and stops the charging. A quick hose and/or a tap on the side of the housing with hammer usually frees it up to start charging again. Maybe the leaky rad hose/ road salt clogged up the brushes?
It could be the trailer harness or earths or it could be the alarm too but until you can get the voltmeter to check battery voltages, etc we are all just guessing.
I would keep an open mind that it could be a couple of unrelated faults. They could be related too, but I am guessing that you have more than one problem.
