What exactly was the short?
Were the wires frayed? Exposed?
How does a wire short in the XJ?
How did you fix it? Just butt connect the frayed wire?

near the coil there is a bundle of wires, if you take the tape off you will see a green wire, with a splice in it... the splice if the problem, from what I have read Jeep / Dodge / Chrysler products are bad about this
