Strange electrical problem with cluster

Hello everyone! New to the forum thanks for any answers.

i have a 2006 f150xl that the gauge cluster keeps shutting off on. The brake light, turn signals, and lights work, just the gauges and odometer stop working.

The weird part is when I checked all the fuses none were blown, BUT when I pulled fuse 21 (15 amp) and put it back in, the gauges came back on. I have replicated this three times now and it is not a loose fuse either. I have tried to just wiggle it and push it in but it has to be pulled out and put back in.

It may be unrelated but my ac was also intermittent this morning but also came back in when I pulled and replaced the fuse.

Thanks for the help, I’ll keep doing my temporary pull and replace fix in the meantime.

Check the fuse box for corrosion.

Midday update. My ac and speedo stopped working but the other gauges were fine. Pulled fuse and put it back and both things are working again. Didn’t see any corrosion
