loose fuse in glove box
I found a glass tube fuse lying in the right hand side of my glove box along with a bullet-nose metal piece and black threaded cap. I see they all fit together. But I'm not sure what they are for or how to re-install them. Can anyone help?

I think it's for the cigarette lighter
Well, I think I found out what the fuse is for. My cigarette lighter won't power my GPS, so I think it's for that. One other possibility is the flashlight in the glove box. It doesn't work either. Can anyone help? Also, what do I need to do to put the fuse back in place? I don't see a place in the glove box, so I suspect it may have fallen in from above.

Please Disregard
You can forget my request. Turns out the fuse was part of the cigarette lighter power connector for the GPS system. The tube and contact screw into the end that makes contact with the power from the lighter socket. It had come loose and fallen out. Sorry for the distraction.
