Odd electrical issue

Lunar-Eclipse

And the weirdness continues...
I went out there again to test the voltage at the engine bay fuse box and it was reading 12+ volts. So I went back to the kick panel and stuck the voltmeter probe in there and I got 12+ volts. Then I went to the cigarette lighters and tested and got 12+ volts.

So I'm thinking one of two things is happening here... either there is a loose wire going into the back of the kick panel fuse box OR there is a fuse/wire that is failing once it heats up.

Plug something with an LED on it into one of the sockets and wiggle the wiring going into the fuse block. If the light is steady, then it's not a loose wire.

While you have the LED plugged in start tracing the wire(s) from the fuse block to the sockets, wiggling the wires as you go. If the LED blinks, you've found the problem.

You may have dirty fuse contacts. Pull the fuse, clean the contacts on the fuse, and re-install.

Not very likely. An "intermittent fuse" is a rarity in my experience (other than contact problems as above) and, unless you were putting a load on the sockets, heating doesn't enter the equation. But not impossible.
