bogger69,
it sounds like your altenator is on it's way out too. XJ altenators are mounted super f@$#ing low, and like to pack up with mud, grass, water, small children.

If you were a bit more careful, you wouldn't end up with children in your alternator, Trev. They'd stay lodged under your skid plate where they belong.

Ok so maybe im just crazy but my dads mechanic friend also said its the alternator but I don't think it is, Here is why:

- I hooked up a battery to mine that had a full charge, now my XJ has a bunch of gauges and the battery one read 11.5-12 volts with a fresh battery hooked up to the one in it, however, after like 5 min it sudendly droped to 9 which is really odd.

- Also I had this problem ( where it would start at 11.5-12 vold then drop to 9 ) like a week ago and after playing around with the ground it went back to 14 and i didnt have a problem until we went to mclean....

I don't want to buy a new alternator for $250-300 if I dont need one because I have $0 to spend so what else could it be?!?
