Ignition? Help!
Can anyone please tell me what the little metal cylinder is hanging under the dash. I just got this 96 Jeep cheap from a family member because it wouldn't spark to start and noticed this last night. It gets extremely hot to touch and smells like something is burning inside but I have no clue what it is. Thanks!

Cigar lighter, especially if it gets extremely hot to the touch... that should NOT be hanging loose like that... not sure why someone would just let it hang like that.

But it has no opening to stick a cigar in? I'm thinking it may be a capacitor and something is shorted making it hot ..
