i can test fuses by taking a multi meter and checking resistance on the tops of them while ignition is off right?

Did you ever solve this? I have the exact same problem and went through the exact same steps. Fuse is fine, connector okay, and the crazy thing is... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The power point in the console never works all the time but in dash is a 50/50 chance. Notably, after I drive again for awhile it starts working.
