I have a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. It died yesterday. I got a jump and everything was fine. My husband changed the battery now all the lights are on on my dashboard. My power steering is not working. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the fuses? The dashboard bulbs? Yes. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Cherokee yourself? What have you tried so far? Yes. We put a new battery in and my husband is trying to rest the computer. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? \*reset

So chances are good that a fuse blew when jump starting it. There is a fuse block under the positive jump start post and it is known to blow especially if the cables are hooked up backwards. You will need to pop that fuse block off the vehicle and inspect it. I would unhook the battery under the seat first of course. Hope this helps.
