Are you sure the earth leads haven't been disturbed/disconnected?

As a final check, (as you can't trust any tinker!), try securely clamping a jump lead from anywhere convenient on the engine block to the negative post on the battery.
Start the engine and see what happens.
If the light goes out - voila - you've got duff earthing.

If the light stays on, well, open your wallet ...... !
