Electrical melt down

I was driving home from work in my 1993 SAAB 900S when I noticed that the heat fan, turn signals, defroster, cruise control all stopped working. The head lights, flashers, dash lights all worked fine.
I got on the highway drove 5 miles at 75 mph, and when I got the exit, I noticed the brake light on and the power boost seemed weak. Then I could smell something electrical burning and she died. I pulled into a parking lot, popped the hood and could see the smoke bellowing from the solenoid.
What just happened? The solenoid shorted? Okay, if so why would the part of the electrical system not work and what would that have to do with the starter solenoid??
