The battery and/or the alternator are giving up the ghost. This can often be a chicken-and-egg scenario, where if you leave it too long the failing component will damage the other one.

When they checked, did they do a voltage test with the engine running, or just check the connections? If you've got the Ford manual, there us pretty thorough troubleshooting procedure for this that should get to the root cause of the problem.
