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.
