Default s13- Electrical prob- speedo/RPM/Temp/ Seat Belts

Ok TR help me out.. Yesterday i drove to my GF house and the car ran fine.. Well when it was time to leave i crank the car up and i smelled something burning then smoke was coming from the fuse box under the steering column, so i killed it right away and checked it out.. Turns out the Meter(10A) fuse had a black wire joining it where it plugs in and the side of the fuse was partially melted.. (I have No idea what this wire goes too) I checked the fuse and its fine! (wierd) so i just cut the end of the wire so it wouldnt short but i noticed when i started going my speedo, rpm's, blinkers, temp, seat belts and turn sigs dont function....today i went through all my fuses and everything is good; tail lights head lights dome light, even my hazards work.. I even put tht black wire back where it was and nothing.. Im STUMPED!!

Iv owned this car for over a year and have never had anything like this happen.. it seems like the owner before me hooked something up ghetto but like i said this prob came out of the blue!! grrr lol soo if you have and suggestions LMK!!!
