Default Theres three. I think.

The 2 I know of is the strap that is on thedrivers side engine bay. It goes from the firewall to the block on a 7/16 stud. The other in at the batt connected to the right fender.

As far as I know the year model of your XJ from 91 on has 2 grounding straps. Once from the firewall to blocks on drivers side and one from the battery to fenderwell passengers side. If you have more then 2 it was added after it left the dealership on it's original purchase.

When he says right he's likely saying it from the perspective of sittng in the drivers seat..
