That's probably why I didnt recognise the ASD...
But still being able to start without it doesn't sound right. Maybe previous owner rigged something. Plus a battery drain ( although I can help with that though, folks with more knowledge about the SJ will probably chime in)

Not knowing anything about this (year, engine) wont do us any good.

Is that perhaps the maintenance light timer, as was on the old XJs? Those were meant to trip a light on the dash as a reminder to replace the O2 sensor at 80k miles. If so, remove and chuck it.
Might also be the flasher relay a I think the older Jeeps had them hanging in the harness instead of in the fuse box. Those used heaters and would get hot if you used the turn signals or flashers. Pull it and see if the hazards and turn signals still work.

The best/easiest way to troubleshoot this is with multimeter that can read current; the clamp-style that you put around the wire... Then you can start pulling fuses until the current drops. You may get to the end with all the fuses out; just do it again in reverse...
Measuring voltage using a regular ol' multimeter works sometimes, but it's much harder to see...
