Wouldn't the light just stay off if the fuse in the front is blown or is there something I'm missing? Something is tripping the light to go off only 10 min after starting but then it fires back up and stays on the rest of the day. So it can't be getting to hot? Maybe the ballast is starting to die, I'm not sure.

most e-ballast have protection circuits in them so if the power is interrupted there will be a delay before it fires again.

The fuse may have some corrosion on it. Other than that I do not believe there are any other servicable parts?
