Well a swift kick is standard repair procedure for repairing anything. Seriously nothing gives you faster results.
Since it seemed to do something in that area I'd agree that it'* probably a fuse or relay, possibly a wire.

The relays are under the hood. There is a fuse box behind the glove box. Take a look there. I would also check all your battery cables on both sides. clean them up good.

It'* about 8 bolts/screws to pull the dash. Then you have great access to the fuse/relay center on the passengerside A pillar.
You could pop the pins out one at a time and tighten them. That would be the correct way to get a better connection.
Poor connections cause heat, heat causes fire. Fire + Bonneville = Bad day.
