You have a short somewhere in one of the units that don't work. Have you done any work to any of them lately? That would be a good place to start

That is the junction box. Splits power from the alternator/generator to various circuits. Trace the wire that is burning up. Somewhere along the way a power wire is touching ground and over loading that circuit.

Below is a PDF of the wiring of the junction box.

Common problem with these vehicles is the wiper pulse control module. The circuit board for the wipers has crappy solder joints. To fix the wipers you either need to re solder the board where the joints have broken or replace it with an Ebay one. There is a DIY link on this site with info about that circuit board.

I do not believe this has anything to do with your wire burning up.

There where 2 wires that where cut into under the steering wheel that I think they go to the ignition switch. I think the steering wheel mount cut them. I tried to add a pic but cant.
