Default 2012 jeep wrangler jk Ground issue

Can someone please help, I don't know what to do. I had 2007 Jeep wrangler jk that had a check engine light that would not go off. Was saying all my o2 sensors were bad a p0420 and and bunch of others. all new parts didnt fix it, new Mopar OEM parts didnt fix it. took i to multiple shops and dealerships spent thousands in diagnostics with them telling me itll be $3000+ for new wiring harness. long story short I found a video that showed weird codes like mine where it threw a ton of codes. In the video they re wired the G104 ground and that fixed it. all but one code. So I had enough and decided to sell it. bought a 2012 Jeep wrangler jk this past saturday and now this jeep is doing the exact samething! this cant be real. when I test drove it had no codes and no pending codes. not its immediately throwing codes even after clearing them. point of note I took the same radio head unit and put it in this Jeep. Could that be what causes everything? both jeeps seemed fine until i did that. I uninstalled the radio and its still showing all the codes I left the negative off last night all night and codes immediately back on as soon as I plugged the negative back on. I also have a cheao obd2 that I use to read the codes and show info to the radio. I dont know what to do this literally has me in tears. anyone know where the g104 equivilent is on a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Please help anyone help i dont have any money left and cant afford to go through all I did with the last jeep. Thank you ao truly so much for your time and effort.

check the C300 connector. its behind the passenger side headlamp. its a large connector with a lot of signals passing through it. I also found my wiring harness was starting to get cut into near the steering column shaft knuckle is. This was brought to my attention from someone else on this forum.
