You knew this was coming...
Jumped in the car this morning, gauges all worked fine. Didn't pay any
attention for about 5 miles and no gauges...
Dang. When I left the car last night there was no sign of that fuse burning,
cool to the touch and all.
Now I'm wondering, one thing I didn't explore was "electromagnetic fan clutch"
because I wasn't sure if I had one, but it seems to make sense to me that once
the engine came up to temp and engaged said fan it might blow the fuse...
Anyway, more troubleshooting tonight.

You can hook up a test light across the (good) fuse and place it where
you can see it. Then when the light comes on you can perhaps correlate
it to something you might have just done.
These intermittents can be a royal pain.
The chicken wagon does this when shifting through reverse sometimes.
It needs a new neutral/reverse switch, I have chased it that far.
That fuse takes out the tach and horns too.
