Default What is it?

96 Classic 4 door. There is fuse/relay(not sure) under the steering wheel. Think of the shape of a Pringles can except about and inch long. It has a male end that plugs into the female end which is wired to the rest of the harness underneath. Any ideas? It worries me because it gets hot to the touch. I also figured out that a past owner added power windows/door locks. Could it be related?
Thanks

It's for that ring around your ignition that glows when the door is open...a while back someone figured this out.

I have a 2000 grand cherokee 6cyl. The odometer is a type 32 but it does specify whether my mileage is in km or miles. help, I need to know whether I am reading miles or km. The speedo has miles in white, big and km in red, small.

Whatever the bigger numbers are. Uually 2 colours with white being on the bigger numbers.
At zero it should say MPH or KPH

Oh yeah and what you've done is called Hijacking a thread. Your question has nothing to do with the original posters (OP) question. Not a polite thing to do. Start a new thread or better yet DO A SEARCH FIRST!
