If you cleaned it with alchol keep this in mind. The alchol will disolve and smear a thin layer back over the contacts. try taking a jewlers screwdriver and scraping light to see if you get any thing off of the contacts. If you do then you can do the same to the other contacts and get them clean.

There should be a information sheet that came with your DP tuner.

FWIW...NEVER NEVER NEVER USE A METAL OBJECT TO CLEAN THE CONTACTS!!! That is a very fast way to turn your PCM into a paper weight! If you accidentally short the wrong 2 contacts together, you will permanently damage the PCM.

Some great tools I've found for cleaning the PCM:
Decent Fingernails
Wooden Popsicle Stick (ok, not great)
Wooden Cuticle Stick from local drug store (stiff, hard wood...works great)
Scotchbrite pad (after the majority of the junk is scraped off)

lighter fluid also does not leave any film
