Sounds like you have an intermittent short somewhere in that circuit like a wire that has gotten chafed and is shorting to the chassis. Doesn't short all the time but......... Trouble shooting the circuit by tracing it from the fuse panel out may locate it but this is very time consuming and will not guarantee you will find it if it is only present part of the time. You may want to seek professional advice.
