Melting Coil Packs???
04 Ram 2500 5.7l SLT--- My 2nd & 4th coil packs melted, I've replaced all plugs, wires, & coil packs but when I start my truck the #4 cylinder coil pack is still getting hot??? Its giving me trouble codes on both the B & D coils, it says secondary circuit, What is the secondary circuit? I'm a single mom and do all the work on my truck that I am capable of doing, I don't want to go to a shop and have them rape me on the bill but it seems the only other problem could be with the computer & I can't begin to go there. I need help diagnosing the problem hoping I can fix it myself and return this rental car thats costing me $400 week!!

In the pic above on the #4 cylinder the wires coming out of the clip that attaches to the coil don’t look good, I’m thinking maybe a bad ground on the #4. If my coil pack melted then the wires might be fried as well right? Could that be why the #4 coil still gets hot after replacing everything with new parts? Should I replace the clip?
