Did you check the fuses with a multimeter? Just because they look good doesn't mean they are.

The Fuse Mark'd (METER) was Blown. Though i know you say to check it befor you post. But i did, with non blown.

Now the Gauges and the Warning panle Both work.
But the Next question is. i dont have 15A Fuse to Replace it right now just 30's and a 20
Would it be safe to use that Concidering the Last fuse blew?

Never use a bigger fuse. That's just asking for trouble.

Find the reason it was blowing in the first place and fix it.

you could look at the wiring diagrams (alldata.com) and trace it down unplugging it and seeing if it blows, if it keeps blowing that is. For now just go to a gas station and grab some fuses.
