If the run is short

Am I concerned about the run from that old time switch to the garage or from the incoming power fuse box to the garage? Because if it's the latter, the run could easily be 60'.

And here are the 3 fuse boxes that handle everything. Not exactly sure where the garage power is controlled as following the wiring can be a bit tricky and the labels are all jacked up:

You need the total distance from your fuse box to your receptacle in the garage coco

It would be best if you could isolate just that circuit, I'm assuming you have a light in your garage if so I would start with the fuse panel you believe its on and start removing fuses until you the light goes off
There may be other outlets/ switches in line with it so turn everything on

Then remove the panel cover and post up a pic

You're worried about the total distance from your main panel. 60' is really not very far though. In all likelihood it's a bad or corroded connection somewhere.
