When I turn it on however, it drops down to 0.01 volts and keeps slowly dropping off. Is this a thermostat failure or a wiring issue?
Try to eliminate thermostat failure by jumping the wires.
Sorry should have been more clear- when the thermostat is switched OFF- steady 13+ volts. When the thermostat is switched ON but does not signal furnace to come on (because I have to wait awhile to be able to manually switch it off and on again) that’s when I see a drop off in voltage. When thermostat is switched ON and furnace is running, a solid 11+ volts.
