Girl I know bought a 91' XJ 4.0, when she went to look at it she had to jump start it, said it "screeched" when it started (mine does too if batt. gets low). She dorve it a day and batt. went dead, she got one from wally-world, it went dead too, she brought it back to shop where she bought it.....guy checked it out said it was a bad alt. He told her he had a hard time finding one(doubt that) but she finally got it back, batt. went dead again, she brought it back to wally-world, they tested,no good, gave her a new one, put it back in same prob. and wire harness under hood started smoking, pwr. wire to alt. fried. ............any ideas for her?
 
Had similar problems. Battery died, harness caught fire etc...
Alt was toast.
