Check your grounds or loose wires. Most problems like this are wires on the starter.

well if you have a digital volt/ohm meter you could do a continuity check to ground on the terminals in the fuse box and find your culprit. if not my first guess would be a bad alternator, if you have another fuse and dont mind the possibillity of blowing it disconnect your alt. and install fuse. you could even rig up some regular spade fuses to the fuse box with some wire since theyre cheap so you dont blow another $7? fuse.

it sounds like you have cut wires some where (and they are making contact), i had the same problem when my right corner fell off, it ripped the wires and they were bare. So everyting the 2 wires connected each other the same fues would go out and it did it over and over until i cliped the ends off that that way the bare wire wasnt making contact...
