My battery wont keep a charge, changed battey, 4 times, had alternator tested 3 times, each time it passed. But I have to jump start my car, then when I disconnect the jumper cables the car dies. I found a wire that was bare, and shorted out, and replaced it, it was one of the wire coming of the started solendiod to the battery, but still have problem. Any suggestions.
Do you
