You have a short circuit somewhere.
You may have a parasitic draw. Here's a short video on how to pin point the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF1gijj03_0 Your alternator may also be bad. Have autozone do a quick alternator test. You may find that it's not producing any volts to keep your battery charged.

I've had the alternator checked ,starter and made sure the battery was the rite one for my car
If all of that is good, then you have a open circuit. AKA a short.

If you have short? Then how would you go about fixing it?
Isn't a short . Ignition is not going to off position, keep moving (jamming) into park while trying to get ignition into off position until dash lights to go off. I unhooked the battery for a year when turning it off before someone told me how to do this.

Car not starting after being towed. Not enough power to start and turn over. Tried to jump start and no starting, headlights come on but weak. Dash haves flicker movement then stop. Tried to turn over but wouldn't.
