Help please. Beautiful day in Tennessee today. Drove to the gym, Lowe’s, and then home. No issues. Left CJ sit in driveway while I went to bar to watch UT lose. When I came home 3 hours later I had no ignition. I turn the key, and it does switch out of lock position and will turn to ACCESSORY (stereo turns on) but I get no spark/ignition.
I have noticed that the ignition module is a mess and leaking. Is this tied to this or is it something like replacing the ignition? Please help if you’ve had similar issues

Is the motor turning over? If the motor is turning over and no spark then it’s either coil or ecu, no spark at coil it would replace ecu, sounds like it’s going out if it’s melting
