I changed my oil last week. While I was trying to get the filter off, I had to reach around behind the alternator with my left arm and jam it down in-between all the crap back there so I could hold the crappy filter wrench on the filter while I tried to take it off with my right hand. (The numb nuts who changed the oil filter last time tightened it down with the wrench, so I had to resort to a screw driver into the filter to get it off.)
Now my battery won't charge, and the charge light on my dash is on, as well as my parking brake light will only dim after I take the parking brake off. Any suggestions on what wire I may have broken off, or how to fix this? I can't afford to take it to a shop and say "I'm having electrical issues, can you find it?"
[edit] Should point out it is a 1990 5-speed carb, with A/C crap in the way.

get a small mirror and check to see if you knocked off a connector from behind the altenator. Some thing must have come loose. Did any sparks fly when you were reaching behind the altenator?
