This made my day lol.

So I am pretty sure I found the problem. I had bought one of those nice metal console brackets sold here on the forum. The rear screws appear to have been too small and worked their way loose. Then the moving metal leg found its way to cutting the wire loom and nicked one of the wires. It then appears to have been grounding it out on occasion. A little tape and a re-route of the wiring along with some larger screws and I think I'm going to call this one fixed!
