The alternator is most likely the problem,the voltage at the battery,with engine running,and headlights on,and ac on high blower should read 13.65 volts,to 14.25 volts,no less,if it is charging enough,then the diodes in the alternator are most likely going out,and it will finish itself off,replace the alternator.If this was at all helpful,please rate,thank you.

If the battery light is on, this means the battery is not getting charge. check for loose connections ar bad grounds ON to the battery. poor terminals or completely disconected at that.
now if your battery light is on while the brake light is also on , and A. your E-brake is not in use B. your brake fluid is in limits. then you have a problem with your alternator.
causes for this are 1. broken disconected alternator wire. 2. alternator fuse in fuse block underhood (maybey jumped car and inverted terminals. 3. bad alternators.
if both lights are on 90% its the alternator. if only batery light is on check wiring to and from fuse box to battery and chassis.

All dash lights on won't start just clicking only

the dashlights should go off when it starts , that should be normal .
sounds like your batterie is flat. try to jumpstart it or charge the batterie overnight and try to start it.
if it runs after that and the dashlights dont turn off it could be your altinator. use a multimeter, set it to 20 v and connect it to the batterie while the engine runs, it should get more than 13,5 v. if you dont have a multimeter go to aany carbatterieshop and ask them to test yout altinator. its free usually. also let them check your batterie.

Something must be staying on or somehow draining the battery with the car off. Check to make sure lights aren't staying on, check the map lights, dome light, visor lights etc. Did you recently install any aftermarket electronic parts?

Batterie is drained when i get up the next morning to start it up

well for starters make sure your battery is fully charged disconnect battery ground(-) ,connect a test light between negative(-) terminal on battery and the ground strap you removed from the battery, if the test light lights up then you have somthing draing your battery. start by removing fuses one at a time if the test light goes out after that fuse is removed that is the source of the draw killing your battery.If there are no faults found at fused circuits start disconnecting wiring connectors from the nonfused circuits ie starter,ignition,alternator,cooling fan.If the test light does not light up at all when connected let me know for the next step
