  get your alternator and battery checked at autozone if the alternator fails and battery passes you need a new alternator only if your battery fails you only need a new battery if both fail well you need both new i do not recommend rebuilt parts

  it sounds like a draw problem. to test this you disconnect the negative cable end from the battery and put a dvom that reads amps in line between cable end and battery. if draw is more than .050 amps the battery will go down. if the draw is more than .050 pull fuses 1 at a time until the draw goes away. this will be the affected circuit. if it only happens on rainy days i would try to perform this test under those conditions. good luck
