Heres the short story. I went to go somewhere today, after dark. Keywords, AFTER DARK. Went 2 miles down the road and noticed everything started to get dim and start to die, dim dashlights, radio turning on and off. Turn the headlights off and the voltage guage went back up to 13 volts. I then turned them back on after stopping at a light and got a repeat. I pulled into a lot and got out to look under the hood and at the headlights. My XJ died in the time that it took to open the hood. Wouldn't start and needed a jump. I came to the assumption that with the parking lights on I'm drawing too much power for the XJ to charge the battery up at idle. Cruising on the highway at 3000 RPM's I'm ok with just the parking lights on but no head lights. If I stop at a light the voltage dips if I don't rev it. I'm thinking I either have a short or a major draw somewhere. Looking for ideas on where to start looking and what for or if anyone else has experienced something along theses lines.
