it looks like it can be the ALT 100 amp the car would not start when we push this fuse it made a clicking sound and the car started.
We took it to an electrician and we were told it was the battery. we took to a well know shop and they tested the battery it come out fine.

Something tells me there is a short between the starter and the alt. There is a fuseable link between the alt and the starter. If one of the items is causing too much of a draw due to a short, it could be draining the battery. Try disconnecting that, replacing the fuse and see if it starts. NOTE: the feed to the alt is hot all the time, so disconnect it at the starter and have the battery disconnected when you disconnect it.
