Exclamation 98 XJ8L VDP electrical HELP !!

Just went to take Charlotte's VDP out for it's weekly exercise, after 24 hour trickle charge. Battery drains if not run weekly. NO START, not even a Grrr. But "system check" is displayed and instrument icons flash off and on and hear relays clicking behind glove box and at extreme left of dash board, while driver memory position does not set and continues adjusting up and down and forward and back. HELP !! Maybe point me in the right direction. My original 98 VDP never had one electric issue before being lost to storm surge from Hurricane Ivan in Florida and the closest Jag dealer is more than 100 miles away from us here in Podunk Mississippi. Thanks in advance, Butch

My guess would be you are due for a new battery.
