Sounds like a fuse to me check all fuses for burnt filaments. If youve done that and still have no power, you got a loose connection somewhere its highly unlikely everything crapped out at once.

Get down on your floor board with a flash light, look up under the steering column. It should be up under there. Its a pain to get too. the fuse your looking for will be labeled " pwr acc " Pull it out and replace it, even if it looks good. When mine blew the fuse looked fine, but after I replaced the fuse my windows, locks, and head lamps came back to life.

What does the smoke smell like? A burning clutch is VERY distinct. The smell is like a carton of egg's that have been sitting in 100 degree heat for a week. Burnt electronics / wires also have a distinct smell.

Depending on how bad you burnt the clutch you may have glazed it or the flywheel. If you did its going to keep slipping until it stops working altogether. If your lucky its just really wet and will dry out. Maybe.
