sparky, PULLING CODES AND BLEW UP THE COMPUTER (SOLVED)

so i prepare to pull my codes.

I install a paperclip jumper wire
next i connect my 12v test light bulb to the  pos battery
next i go to connect the other end of the test light to the 6 pin connector

opps,, i bumped my jumper wire with my pos 12v test light.,,spark!:mad:


20th anny starts up and stumbles falling flat on its face.  This puts the car in the "down" status.
I figured out what happend and replaced the required part,, any takers?

The car runs now.


Lesson learned,,,,,,,,,,
Connect the test light to the 6 pin connector first then connect the other end to the pos battery post.
