Hi have 2001 grand Cherokee I was driving and I lost all the gauges but truck ran fine. I then disconnected the battery to reset the controllers, now the truck starts and stalls in 2 seconds. The first code comes up is P1687 then the P1686 code comes up
Code 1687 means the computer lost power, probably when you disconnected the battery. Code 1686 means the computer is not talking to the instrument panel.
It could be the cluster or a wiring problem. Since you disconnected the battery, the computer may have to re-learn its parameters to know what the base idle should be. You may have to try to drive it a few miles.

Diagnostic Fault Code (DTC) P1686 has a generic description of "No SKIM Bus Nessage Received".
Diagnostic Fault Code (DTC) P1687 has a generic description of "No Instrument Cluster Bus Message"
P1688 is either not a valid code for your vehicle, or the manufacturer failed to provide specific information for it.
Basically, what is going on here is that you have a problem in your computer network communication bus. Or to put it more simply, the "phone line" is down. Your computers in your vehicle are having problems talking to each other.
"SKIM" stands for Sentury Key Imobilizer Module (AKA security module). The Instrument cluster and the SKIM are not communicating with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for sure, and possibly also not communicating with the Body Control Module (BCM). There may also be problems with other modules that share the same data lines.
This MUST be diagnosed with a scan tool that can access the entire computer network. You must find out which modules can communicate with the scanner and which ones cannot. This is necessary to determine the possible location of the fault.

check the battery to make it is fully charged and also put some dry gas in the gas tank

P0505 means the whole Idle Control system, not only the IAM. Check all related sensors (i.e. crankshaft sensor). Check with a voltmeter direct at the connector of the IAM if you get any signal. Remove the IAM from the TB, connect him, let someone switch your ignition key to ON. The IAM need to drive in/out for a short time to find the right position. Hold the IAM near a hard part, that they cant drive out completely! If IAM works fine, check the fuel pressure, check and clean your TB ( if not done yet). If that doesn't work, come back again please
