You have a burnt hidden wire that's causing that. Trace every bulb to the fuse harness and chk. them again. Look for water in your lights also. If you can't fix the problem after that or don't see anything, take it to Tidewater Electric they fix a good %95 of electrical problems w/ ease.

Did you install or remove anything electrical or electronic recently?

try increasing to a 5 amp larger fuse but first check with a test light for ground. I know that this my get flamed but it should not do any damage and may help if you are get a slightly higher power surge but not extremely high
