Check the brake switch.

same switch that triggers the brakelights that is against the pedal under the steering column.

I have to get a Jeep like yours. If you have a problem. You leave it alone for a bit and it repairs it's self. LOL
At least it's working for you again. Let us know if it happen again.
That is if it doesn't fix it's self. LOL
You may want to check your linkage just to make sure that they aren't binding.
Good luck with it an hope it doesn't happen again.
