Default Burnt wiring....

Hello all...recently my AC clutches burnt up and locked up, and when I tried to start my truck I melted some wires down near the starter (i think) and let the smoke out lol....

Since then, here's a list of things that don't work (have checked fuses, they're all good)....I was wondering if these things shared a common point so I can find out exactly what wire needs repaired....

Reverse Lights
Speedometer
Starter (I can jump the starter on itself and make it work just fine)
Power Windows
Air blower motor

Does anyone know if these electrical components all share a common ground or hot point?

And for some reason my ABS light came on. I was able to change belts to bypass the AC unit and it'll run but I have to crawl under the truck and jump the wire on the starter any time I want to start it. My windows are stuck down though lol.
