No Spark After Changing a Fried Coil-Pack On My 3.2CL

I fried a coil pack yesterday on my '03 3.2 CL Type S -- I mean it was smoking because had to keep it running as I was frantically trying to park as it failed.

I Just changed it, and had a devil of a time doing so because it was virtually melted in place and I broke-off the top part trying to free it. Anyhow, after fussing with it for a couple of hours I finally managed to remove the offending part and replaced it with a new, OEM one but when I went for the glory and tried to start the car it would not fire-up.

One at a time, I pulled two plugs from the front cylinder-bank (they were wet with gas so it is certainly getting fuel), grounded them and performed a spark-test but there is none. I have a feeling it is something simple: I am wondering if this could be caused because the engine check light is now on and might need to be reset before the car will give me spark. I was also wondering if there is a relay or fuse that might have blown when the coil-pack fried.

Any suggestions?
Help, Please!
Thanks!

Yes, you likely blew a fuse with a melted coil pack. Check fuse #11 in the under-dash fuse box. And yes, you will also have to clear the Check Engine Light.
