The belt to the alternator may need tightening. In the rain the belt gets wet and slips more. At night with all lights on more load on alternator can cause belt to slip. Also check for loose or corroded connections at battery.


AnswerStop by a local auto parts store that offers free in-car alternator and battery testing. That should give you some guidance as to which one may be starting to fail.
