Default Fuse laying on my floor mat?? WTF?

Opened the door of my Jeep last night and found a fuse laying on my mat, (driver's side). Really hard to read but looks like .3A/250 VP on one end.

Anyone know where this may have come from? I admit, I haven't looked in the manual yet..... that's my next step.

What kind of fuse glass or a push in, By what you say it sounds like a glass type that could be from a gps or cell phone cord.

Ah... it's just one of those little glass fuses about 1 1/4" long x 3/16" diameter with the little metal caps on the ends.

I took the doors off a couple of weeks ago and had to unplug the electric window plugs and unhook the hinge straps. I may have bumped an unknown fuse box in doing so and loosened one up... dunno... I'll get in there and look around after work tonight.

It has to be something that was added glass fuses are not used much in automotive stuff any more, like I said could be some thing that plugs into the lighter socket like a gps or a phone cord that came apart, Some off road light kits still use them, The only thing we can be sure of is it did not come with the jeep originally Good luck look for things that don’t work.
