If you're going to long-term store a car like an XJ8, you need to put a battery tender on the battery. Otherwise you'll find it dead after 2-3 weeks. You can buy an inexpensive one at Wal-Mart, about $20. You didn't say how old the battery is, but it sounds like it's at least 3 years old, and probably older.

Take the battery to your local auto parts store and have them load test it. You'll undoubtedly find that it's 1) not charged, 2) not taking a charge, and 3) needs to be replaced.

We went and got a new battery and by gosh that seems to have been the problem. Thank you for the responses. The advice about the battery tender is great since we don't plan on driving it during the winter and here in Minnesota those can be quite long sometimes. Thanks again!!
