A relay would be cheaper to swap out, but it doesn't sound like the relay to me. In my experience, relays tend to just fail.

I'd have to agree that it sounds more like the alternator. What you can do is take it out and take it to someplace like Advance Auto and have them bench test it. Places like that will bench-test alternators for free in just a few minutes.
