Narrative:
In cruise flight; 4 lights illuminated simultaneously: right automatic xfer push light fail; APU power/fuel sov fail light; right engine fire push light; right ground proximity light. No secondary indications noted for engine fire; ie; no triple chime; no master warning light; no aural; engine gauges normal and because all 4 lights came on together; assumed the engine wasn't on fire but experiencing some sort of electrical anomaly. (Plane sat overnight during tropical storm.) conferred with program manager and maintenance personnel. Radio and we all agreed that shutting down #2 and/or diverting was not necessary. Proceeded to ZZZ; where we deferred left display unit alpha. All lights mentioned went out simultaneously after about 20 mins.

Narrative: IN CRUISE FLT; 4 LIGHTS ILLUMINATED SIMULTANEOUSLY: R AUTO XFER PUSH LIGHT FAIL; APU PWR/FUEL SOV FAIL LIGHT; R ENG FIRE PUSH LIGHT; R GND PROX LIGHT. NO SECONDARY INDICATIONS NOTED FOR ENG FIRE; IE; NO TRIPLE CHIME; NO MASTER WARNING LIGHT; NO AURAL; ENG GAUGES NORMAL AND BECAUSE ALL 4 LIGHTS CAME ON TOGETHER; ASSUMED THE ENG WASN'T ON FIRE BUT EXPERIENCING SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ANOMALY. (PLANE SAT OVERNIGHT DURING TROPICAL STORM.) CONFERRED WITH PROGRAM MGR AND MAINT PERSONNEL. RADIO AND WE ALL AGREED THAT SHUTTING DOWN #2 AND/OR DIVERTING WAS NOT NECESSARY.
