Someone over greased the electrical panel. You should only put 3 or 4
squirts from a grease gun into eack grease fitting on the breaker box.
I have seen people pump the grease gun until the entire box is filled
with grease. One guy put in so much grease it was coming out every
outlet in the house and some of the lightbulbs were even filled with
grease. Remember, you are only lubricating the wires so they dont
squeak when they fill with electricity.

I've got squeaky wires, especially at night time when the house is quite
you can hear them,
what type of grease do you recommend? Also, after reading your post I
looked for a fitting on my panel, but didn't see one similar to a grease
nipple on my trailer tires,
are the two similar at all?

You probably have greaseless wires. Lots of builders cut costs by using cheap
sleeve wires instead of a quality ball-bearing wire. They save a bundle by
not having to lube the wires, but after a decade or so they start to squeal and
you're stuck with having to replace all the wires. Sorry to be the bearer of
bad news.
