Fuse box or Gem module?

Hello all,
I have a 98 f250 ld 4x4 xlt 3 door 4.6l with approx 134000 miles on it.
I don't have a leak in my front wind shield.

So my question is.

When I start the truck sometimes the gauges will go all the way down like if the truck is off. If I play with the fuses they will go back up and it will run great. Some times the engine will surge...again play with the fuses then it will run great.If I don't get to the fuses fast enough it will die when it is surging.
Also on one of the fuses I can hear a noise like it is shorting out sometimes.
So I don't know if I need to change out the fuse box or look for a bad ground?If I need to look for a bad ground I have no clue where to start.
Please help before I spend money that didn't need to be spent.
I miss my truck.

hope I gave you all enough info if not please let me know. Thanks in advance

Repair for the power issue.
The GEM has little to nothing to do with the dash display or power to the computer.
Good luck.
