Electrical problem
1999 Ford Taurus 6 cyl

My 1999 Ford Taurus has been having problems with the battery dieing and my car not starting. After I have it jumped it will work for a while and then it dies again and won't start. I had the battery and alternator both checked out and they were just fine. What else could be wrong with it and how would I fix that?
