However, you have got me thinking. Maybe the fuse blowing is a cause not an effect. If the fuse blew for some reason on engine start, the ignition circuit would see the high voltage and it would also explain why all the failures have occurred a half mile from setting off. Of course, it still leaves me with the problem of finding why the fuse is blowing.
What do you think?

Tuff one, maybe a shorted stop light or whatever. Could be something blows fuse soon after start-up. We had one like that, short in stop light. Put new fuse in, start and drive away...car was fine as long as it was kept above idle(running on generator) when it did die the fuse was found blown. There are not that many co9nnections, just recheck all for tight and clean. I would disconnect the light harness feed during a daytime run and and see if the fuse still pops. Goood hunting.
