Hi accord14,

When the charging indicator stays on, the charging system should have a fault. The jump starting confirms the battery is weak and you should get the alternator checked.

Check if there are any water inside the distributor cap. Washing the engine tends to have this problem and it would cause the stalling or non starting.
