Default Random will not start / no electrical power

Have 99 XJ8 . Every now and then the car goes completely dead. No power to anything . The battery was checked and its good. The way I get it started again is to disconected both battery terminals. Then it starts. Also when this happens , I checked the large 12 volt power wire under hood on the right side by hood latch. It shows no power. But when I reset car by un hooking both battery leads and then check it, there is 12 volts of power and the car starts. So is there a relay somewhere on car that is making this happen or ECM problem or grounding problem or ???? Any help greatly appreciated spuds1956 donmck1950@aol.com
