Exclamation 98 Xj8 starting problem/ charging problem

Hello all, PLEASE HELP, I recently bought a 98 xj8 with the common A-drum issue, had that taken care of from a 03 donor, now after driving for 3 weeks everything seemed fine until about a week ago, I jumped in went to start it and it felt like battery was low, drove straight to auto store and it tested good, told me replace alternator, no problem still have the donor, did that, next morning same thing, battery was good still so we tried jumping it to see what would happen, fired right up ( yeah it's fixed, not so fast guy ) drove around town a little got on hwy to see how she would act no problem, then after about a hour or so battery light, abs light, transmission fault , gearbox fault, hell every message and dash light, then everything started losing power no radio,lights nothing. made home barely. Today check battery good but low, alternator good, bulkhead connection and ground straps where replaced when transmission installed, but now when I tried starting it my starter is making a humming noise and the fuse box close to the windshield vent makes this loud clicking sound and nothing. Any good ideals. PLEASE HELP
