Default Bad sound from front right

I rotated my tires yesterday and now have 2 problems. First is the tire pressure indicator is on (I will read manual as I know there is something that probably has to be done to set new TPS locations). Second is I have a rotating thumping sound coming from front right when I let off throttle. It goes away under acceleration, but quickly begins as soon as I get off the gas. I have not removed the wheel yet to look and see if it is something obvious (only 9 degrees F here in Indiana). Thought I would see if anyone has ony thoughts. Thanks.

Not sure about the thumping sound.

TPMS has to be reset through the car computer. Your car senses the rotation as new wheels/tires. Easy 3 minute procedure. Directions are in the owners manual.

Default No Snow or ice...

I will remove the wheel and mount again, checking anything else that may be obvious. It's just so friggin cold here, that I am going to wait. I'll drive my Jeep until it warms up a bit. Thanks.
