  Start simple- have your battery checked/tested. Most auto parts stores can do this for you for free.

  Sounds like your alternator or battery is going bad. Have the charging system tested for output and make sure you check for a draw. If you would like us to look at it just call me and schedule an appointment (313-562-7022). I am sure we can figure it out for you.
