I'm just afraid there may be a short somewhere else...my thoughts keep going to the sound system in the car for some reason. I may have them check that out. My daughter had a nice sound unit put in during the period she was driving this car, maybe something faulty there.

Hi again, if it had a short, it would have blown the feasible link in the middle of it. It is burnt at the end where it connects to the fuse box terminal. This is from a bad or loose connection, when it was fitted at some time ago.
All the power that the car needs to start, except the high starter current flows, through this link. The resistance it has will get worse with the electrical load, so that it will pass current, at first ,then pass nothing when loaded.
The terminal in the box will need replacing, either with a new box or the terminal itself replaced.
All the best Harvey.
