I suggest that there is a wire that has been chaffing against something that is getting progressively worse over time. Wires are usually bundled together and you risk melting adjacent wires with a larger fuse. Thus creating additional electrical problems. Start looking at wires coming through the firewall/bulkhead.
+100 to what he said

Like putting a penny in an old 60amp 1920's home fuse box. Ahh most of you have never seen a home fuse box. I'm old.
