You should start with the basics. Is your battery good?
If so, is your alternator charging, if not it will drain your battery.
Then you could look for a draw in the system.
But I suspect it's just your alternator. Test these first then write back.

One at a time start disconnecting components of the fuel inj system until the light goes out. Can tell you off-hand what all is in that circuit. Could be a bad relay somewhere. Anyway, you've got it narrowed down. Progress!
