dash cluster issues

2003.5 ford f350 drw

occasionally the dash and radio will just go blank, it last anywhere between 2-60 seconds and then everything comes back on. There is no rhyme or reason, sometimes it happens when driving and sometimes when its just idling warming up. It seems happen most often when the engine is cold. I have check every ground i can find.
anybody else experience this

Does a firm smack on the dashboard get things working again?
