while ago i wen up a driveway hit the curb style front of drive going up at normal speed then cluster radio interior lights no windows no heat air nothing worked inside only headlights taillights horn turn signals worked nothing else.. so went to shop mechanic smacked the fuse box and while i had the driver door open i noticed the light under the mirror turn on ..and everything else that wouldn't work before did.. he moved the fuse box a little and everything stayed on ... told m keep fingers crossed because if problem comes back i need to replace whole fuse box and he has to check every wire that leads to it in the huge loom i saw that leads into it from underneath!

well problem stayed away for a while ... i remember he also replaced the number 58 relay (ignition relay) also it had a burn spot on top if it when he opened the fuse box.. so now problem came back .. same relay has a burn spot on top also i bend box slowly box left and right ... i push it down as far at it will move... i smack it on top lightly not to break and fuses or relays and once again at a specific spot i would hear and electric click and everything would turn on inside then as a i let go it would turn off ... so i would have to play with it till everything stayed on ...

but new issue now if i get lucky and get everything to work again as soon as i open any door on the truck everything shuts off again instantly like if you open door when power running inside truck with ignition off ... before extra run time of juice runs out and you shut that power off... so every time i get out i have to pop hood open fuse box and mess with it till lights turn on .. sometimes works right away sometimes takes forever ...

can this be a possible easy fix i hope .. i am still unemployed and have zero funds so a expensive repair is not possible for me unfortunately ..

please help anyone .

Okay, so we are talking about the engine bay fuse panel, not the one in the cabin. I wasn't sure until I got to where you stated "pop the hood".
I find it very strange that hitting a curb would cause issues with the fuse panel. Are you sure the panel is securely grounded? I'm surprised that it can be moved.

not moving it like its loose but using strength pushing it down left or right ....
