keeps blowing #17 fuse

My 96 F350 stroke keeps blowing the #17 fuse, which runs my guages and idiot lights. Also every once in a while (about once every 500 miles) when going down the road it will die just like you shut the key off but it will come right back to life and jerk and stutter a little bit then its fine. During this ive notice my volt guage fluctuates up and down a little bit until it quits acting up. I also noticed a while back sometimes it would die when you shut the door, but hasnt done that for a long time now.(now that I said that Ill be stranded tomorrow). Something tells me a lot of this is related to each other but I cant seem to think how. Havent really had a chance to look at it close but thought maybe someone here has had similar trouble, and could point me in the right direction.
