All the connectors (think 3) are just hanging there, wires going to washer motor go through the firewall (?) going towards engine and they also are just sitting there disconnected. ...under the dash there is melted plastic, looks old not new, near the ignition switch. My husband thinks it all goes back to the radio. not sure why. he thinks he smelled burning plastic by the ignition switch right before it died....makes it all so complicated this new info.

The 'black box' is the alarm control box, has nothing to do with the radio, which you might have assumed from the 'Becker Radio' sticker on it. I'd look closer at the 'burning plastic' and nearby wiring. Tough problem...and yes, the fuse box is very vulnerable down there. The OVP is behind the panel just above the box too, worth checking the fuse(s) on the top of it.
