Default Stoopid electronics help???

My jeep won't even turn the starter. Each time u try to start it u have to disconnect the battery to get electricity to turn back on. All the fuses look good and the starter relays good. Please help!!

I just swapped the other 4 relays out of my brothers xj and it finally jump started but when u take of the jumper cables it dies so I'm thinking this new issue is the alternator. But it was the relays for sure cuz it wouldn't jump before I swapped the relays
