I hate those "phantom" problems! Always scared it is going to come back. But what can you do? Glad it is gone, I hope it stays gone for ya.

Something is shorting out causing your fuse to blow. Get a multimeter and check your associated wires for good ohmes. Wire to wire you shouldn't have anything if you do they are shorted to each other. Or you could have a bad ground, see if they share a common ground.

I am having the same problem with an 06 Dyna Low Rider. I have an appointment with my dealer in a couple of weeks but would sure be nice to get it fixed sooner if anyone has any suggestions.
