Don’t know if dodge built any reverse polarity protection into any of its electronics.
Once you have the battery hooked up right check to see if the PCM will read out codes. If it does (even just the 55 code) then you may have gotten away lucky and not fried the PCM. This is no guaranty that the PCM is total intact but is a good sign. It’s also possible that some of the sensors could have been damaged, the crankshaft and camshaft sensors use hall effect semiconductors and may be damaged. The dash cluster may have also been damaged but should not prevent startup.
