Oil Change Woes Part 2

It took me a few days to get back on the computer but here is the update... by touching the 2 posts on the back of the alternator for a micro-second while doing an oil change the problem was I toasted the PCM. Had to order another one from Dodge cost me 380$ plugged it in, checked it for codes and then VIN# is programmed into it and now everything is fine. Iknow this is very unusual, from what I've heard most times when this happens the alt. fuse in the Power Distribution Center blows, exchange it and your good to go. So a word of caution to all.....
DON'T LET ANYTHING METAL TOUCH THE BACK
OF YOUR ALTERNATOR TO CAUSE ARCHING!!!
