Me!
My battery needed replacing so I took care of it on Sunday. CEL came on and I figured it was due to low power or something of the like. I ended up pulling the codes and clearing them. Two didn't clear so I was about to post up here to see if anyone had experienced them before.
In stop and go traffic yesterday, I realize the jeep is getting hot. Pulled over and shut it off. Let it cool and was then able to make it into the dealership.
Got a call today that I must have put the power supply for the cooling fan on the negative terminal, not the positive. It's a black wire and when I pulled all my other accessory wires off to swap the battery, that must have come off too and I hooked it up to the negative terminal going by the standard black=ground.
Apparently, that simple mistake ended up frying the cooling fan (sold as a whole assembly) and likely the TIPMS. Nailing everything down with the dealer tomorrow, but it was a costly error.
