I had to keep jumping my car for about a week now and yesterday I had it plugged in the jumping and my car wasn't starting the battery was charged and good and so is the alternator and the fuses are good. So what else could it be?

Do you have a battery warning light on while you drive? If so the battery is no being charged, I would recharge the battery and if it wont crank over get a new battery, and then when it starts test the alternator. These video will help.
