The P0700 is a transmission code that could be related in some form or fashion, or could be an entirely separate issue that coincidentally popped around the same time as the P0344. The only relation of the two being wiring I would look heavily at shooting the wires. Also it could be a bad chasis ground that might just be corroded. Code p0700 in a jeep liberty usually means there's an automatic transmission fault.

Hi! A P0700 code stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) indicates that there is a code stored in the transmission control module (TCM) that can be accessed by looking into the TCM with an appropriate scan tool. Having the actual transmission code may provide more help for the diagnosis.
If 'detailed the engine compartment', means washed under the hood with water spray, then you may have gotten water into some electrical connections. I suggest starting with an aerosol spray can of Electrical Terminal Contact Cleaner. Key off and out of ignition. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect connectors to PCM, TCM, and any other control modules (like ignition) that may have gotten wet. Inspect terminals closely. Spray with contact cleaner. Allow to dry before reconnecting.
Some Dodges with a P0700 have needed a new TCM.

Flashing MIL light means engine is misfiring severely. You were correct to shut it off. Water in ignition coils, wires, spark plug boots could’ve caused it.
I’d suggest having your car looked at by a qualified technician, such as one from YourMechanic, to diagnose your trouble code firsthand and help you make the necessary repairs. Best of luck.
