The ride is a 2000 Cherokee Sport -

Hey guys, I was doing some work on my jeep and now I am getting the "No can Bus" error code. I was unplugging my harness by the ignition (has the accessory, ignition, 12 volt, and starter wires on the plug) and a part of it grazed a metal bracket - heard a slight pop. Here are the symptoms.

-Jeep cranks but will not start
-voltmeter and fuel gauges are not working
-pw and locks work fine, headlights, hvac fan all seem to work fine.

For starters, I am going to check the fuses. I have checked the following fuses in the front junction box thus far.

Fuse #6 - (5A) Instrument/ switch illumination
Fuse #9 - (10A) Ignitioin switch output / compass / sentry key/ headlamp delay/ instrument cluster
Fuse #10 - (15A) Starting System
Fuse #11 - (20A) PCM / Auto shutdown relay/ fuel pump relay
Fuse #19 - (10A) Engine start motor relay

One of the "hot wires" from the ignition harness definitely came in contact with the metal bracket. I Feel kinda stupid for not disconnecting the battery, but it is what it is and now it needs to be fixed. Any help or advice is much appreciated as I need to get to work tomorrow!

 

Alright I got the problem fixed - car is running fine, but the check engine light is on. Reset the ecu....ill check to see what codes she throws.

Thanks prcherokee for the service manual.

 

You're welcome.
Glad you got it fix.
