So about two months ago i was driving, my gas gage randomly dropped and the light came on. so i stopped the car, turned it off and when i attempted to turn it back on it wouldnt. I was getting lights and everything. the shop eventually determined it was a blown fuse and i was back on the road. today the same thing happened. When i noticed it i was luckily near a shop here at school so i decided to drive to it( a mile away with gas light on below the line, and the temp gage was fluctuating.) got to the place, turned off, tried to turn it back on and the same thing that happened before. The shop was closed so i just left the key there and the note explaining the situation.

Is it most likely the same fuse causeing the problem? I've read on here people have problems with blown fuses and just carry around a bunch with them.

This car has been a huge dent in the pockets the last 6 months, and all i need it for is to get me across PA in time to catch a saturday night flight out of the country

any help would be appreciated.
