Ouch! A case of the raucous rodent! I've been there...Not fun trying to track down and repair all the damage.

First of all, let me explain how the code sets: The computer monitors the PRIMARY side of the coil to determine the burn time on the SECONDARY side of the coil. This can be a little confusing. The code will set when the computer determines that secondary ionization (burn time) was too short, too long, or did not occur at all.
If you have confirmed that there is no spark at the spark plug wires, then that is why the code is setting...ionization is not occurring at all. What can be a little confusing is that this can be caused by a failure in the PRIMARY coil circuit even though the code is indicating that the computer is having a problem with the SECONDARY circuit. (The secondary circuit can malfunction even though the primary side is functioning perfectly, but if the primary side malfunctions, the secondary side ALSO malfunctions - it is impossible for the secondary side to work if the primary side is not working.)

So, I said all that to tell you this: I think you have pretty much eliminated the entire secondary side of the ignition by replacing the whole circuit. So the problem must be on the primary side. (Probably more chewed wires)
There are 4 wires going to your ignition coil. The BROWN/WHITE wire comes from the ASD RElay and supplies battery voltage to the coil assembly. Since the other four cylinders are firing, This wire has to be OK.
The code you are getting is for coil #2. This coil is controlled by computer through the DARK BLUE/TAN wire. If you disconnect your coil connector and probe this wire with a test light connected to the POSITIVE battery post, it should "blink" when to crank the engine over. My guess is that it will not be blinking. You can do this also on the BROWN/ORANGE (coil #1) wire and the DARK BLUE/DARK GREEN (coil #3) wire to see the difference.

Anyway, if the DARK BLUE/TAN wire does not blink, then the wire is broken (chewed?) between the coil and the PCM.

Asd 25a fuse blows every time i crank engine 2001 dodge grand caravan 3.3

Unplug these items,
- coil pack
- the multi wire connector on the back of the alternator
- both oxygen sensors

Install a new fuse and see if it blows when you turn the key on. If it does than there could be a problem with the fuel injectors or the wiring to the injectors or any of the items that where unplugged.

if it doesn't plug the coil pack back in and start the vehicle. If it blows with the coil pack plugged in replace the coil pack.

If it still doesn't blow with the coil pack plugged in and the engine running shut it down and plug in the alternator and start the vehicle. If it blos with the alternator plugged in replace the alternator.

Continue the same steps with the O2 sensors if needed.

If you have any questions let me know and I'll be happy to help. Thank you for using Fixya.com!

Malfunction indicator light

if you receive a code indicating ignitial coil c secondary circuit this means a plug wire that connects your ignition coil pack module to a spark plug in the motor has come loose OR has become worn out
(not likely on '05 odel) or one of the coil pack modules has gone bad. If you recently had muffler repair work done, then suspect a wire has come loose and attempt to remove and reconnect each wire to the coil pack. If not, I would recommend replacing the coil pack module that's easiest to get to and testing the vehicle after replacing it. If that doesn't do it you will have to keep replacing until it starts running properly or you will need a shop manual to indicate which one is "COIL C". It's not very likely that a wire will be worn out based on the age of your vehicle, but heat from a motor will destroy a coil pack over a matter of several years especially if the coil pack is near an exhaust pipe or exhaust manifold.

My 2005 Grand caravantransmission issue

The Dodge vehicles have an external solenoid pack that runs the trany.My experiance the solenoid pack starts to leak trany fluid into the electrical conector.Sometimes you can clean the fluid out with a spray cleaner and compressed air and it will temporaly fix the problem.If it does you know the solenoid pack will need to be replaced.
